Persons with Annual Permits
For individuals with annual permits, before parking in spaces that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), your state-issued handicap placard or plate must be registered with MSU Transportation. You may register your placard via your parking portal at myparking.msstate.edu or at our Customer Service Desk in the Roberts Building. To register your placard, you will need to submit a copy of the front and back of the placard as well as the Disabled Parking Application from your state. If you have a disabled license plate, you will need to submit a picture of the license plate as well as the vehicle registration.
With your annual permit and registered placard or plate, there are specific guidelines you need to follow. You are permitted to park in ADA spaces within your designated zone, whether it's gated or non-gated, as long as you hold a valid permit in that area. If you require additional parking accommodations, you will need to reach out to the Executive Director of Transportation via email to submit your request. If you're a student, be sure to include your class schedule with dates.
There are Open ADA parking lots that are open to any permit located at the following locations:
- On Walker Road, in front of the Chapel of Memories
- Behind Montgomery Hall
- Between Bowen and Patterson Halls
- Off of Moseley Road, between the IED Building and Eckies Pond
- Between the Roberts Building and Middleton Hall
ADA spaces in other lots are only open to those permit types. Vehicles parked in a metered or timed lot must follow the metered and timed lot details.
Persons with Daily Permits
For individuals with daily permits, your state-issued handicap placard or plate must be properly displayed and current. Your placard is only valid in the purchased daily permit zone. Vehicles parked in a metered or timed lot must follow the metered and timed lot details.
In the event a disability-related accommodation is needed to obtain access to another zone, please contact the Transportation office at 662-325-3526. Requests for parking accommodations are considered on a case-by-case basis, with consideration given to the nature of an individual’s impairment and the availability of suitable parking spaces.
