How to Obtain an EARC Issued Disabled Parking Permit

 

To obtain an EARC issued disabled parking permit, employees must provide the EARC written, medical verification of a mobility impairment or functional limitation that substantially impacts ambulation. Written, medical verification must include:

• A medical diagnosis determined by a licensed physician and submitted on professional letterhead. The diagnosis must be based upon history and treatment for a medical condition that adversely affects mobility.

• An evaluation of the impact on the individual of both the diagnosed condition and any prescribed medications. This evaluation must include an explanation of the functional limitations of the disability and address how the impairment substantially limits the individual’s major life activity of walking.

• The duration of the condition, whether it is short-term (less than 90 days), or long-term (more than 90 days). 

If you do not currently have medical verification of your condition that includes the required information listed above, please refer to EARC's Forms webpage to obtain an EARC Parking Medical Verification Form, which is to be completed by your treating physician and submitted to the EARC for review of disabled parking eligibility.

A key card is necessary to gain access to Lot #1 located at 7th & San Fernando. To apply for a key card, employees must submit an application to Traffic and Parking Operations located in the 7th Street Garage. If the electronic gate malfunctions, you may contact the EARC by dialing 111 during business hours on the Lot#1 gate control key pad or use the gate control directory to contact the University Police Department (UPD) to gain access.
