Rules and Enforcement

Promoting fair and safe parking while maximizing parking availability

Visitors to the Texas A&M University campus are always welcome. Transportation Services has provided parking accommodations for visitors in locations listed on this page. The fee for parking in these areas is posted at the entrance to each parking facility. If parking is not available in one of these areas or if special arrangements are needed, please call Transportation Services at 979.862.7275 (PARK).

University affiliates who park on campus are required to purchase a permit, therefore, we ask visitors to refrain from parking in areas designated for faculty, staff and students, unless prior arrangements are made through Transportation Services.

Using campus parking facilities for any purpose other than what they are intended is prohibited. No recreational activity may occur within parking lots or garages, including stairwells, without prior authorization from Transportation Services.

Violators are subject to ticketing, booting and/or towing. Faculty, staff and students are responsible for any citations that are issued to visiting family members. Should a relative of Texas A&M University faculty, staff or students receive parking citations, Transportation Services has the authority to bill the citations to the University's affiliate.

Transportation Services reserves the right of refusal for any activity. For questions, please contact Customer Assistance at 979.862.7275 (PARK) or email parking@tamu.edu.
