General Parking Regulations

  • Parking is specifically prohibited in handicapped spaces except for vehicles with appropriate handicap designators displayed. This section is enforced 7 days per week, 24 hours per day.
  • Parking is permitted in a designated parking space only.
  • Parking is not permitted along any red curbing, fire lane, or any place other than designated parking spaces.
  • Motorcycles, motor-driven cycles, mopeds, and motorized bicycles are prohibited from parking at bicycle racks.
  • Loading zones are for loading and unloading only and the time should not exceed posted limits.
  • The Shasta College campus is closed each night from 11:00 pm to 6:00 am. No overnight parking of vehicles will be permitted on campus unless a permit is obtained, in advance, from Campus Safety. Vehicles left on campus, even with a permit, are left at the owner / operator’s own risk and may be towed at the owner’s expense.
  • Parking at any time beyond the time limit, in a time-controlled zone is unlawful.
  • Parking at any time in violation of any posted sign is unlawful.
  • Vehicles must be parked entirely within the marked single parking space being used.
  • Camping or residing in a motor vehicle on District property is prohibited, unless specifically authorized by the Chief of Campus Safety.

Availability of Parking Space

Responsibility for finding a legal parking space, as well as finding out where and when a parking permit is valid, rests with the motor vehicle operator. Purchase of a parking permit does not guarantee a space to park. Lack of a parking space within a specific lot, mechanical problems, or other disabilities, are not considered valid justification for violation of District parking regulations. Personal notes are not considered valid authorization to park in violation of District parking regulations.

Fines for Illegal Parking

The minimum fine for illegal parking in a handicap space is $275. The fine for all other parking violations is $25 each. Failure to pay a fine or submit a “Request for Administrative Review” form, within the designated time may cause a penalty to be added to the fine and a “hold” to be placed on the vehicle registration by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
