The adhesive cover is peeled away and the decal is pressed against the inside window—facing outward. Taping the decal to the window or mounting it in any other way is a violation of BCC regulations. Vehicles without properly affixed decals will not be allowed to park in any of the campus parking areas.

The main gate on Hall of Fame Terrace serves as the predominant point of entry and exit for all vehicles. However, the Osborne Gate is open and staffed Monday through Thursday, when classes are in session, from 7:30am to 9:30am and again in the afternoon from 3:30pm to 6:00pm.

When there is a high volume of parking spaces needed, the Patterson and MacCracken lots are open to faculty and staff permit holders. (On weekends, occasional allowances are made for special programs that run past the College’s “regular” hours.)

Faculty and staff with parking permits may only park in areas designated by the College as parking spaces. Campus parking is on a first-come, first-served basis. There are no assigned parking spaces, except for a small number that are specifically designated and marked by posted signs. There is no overnight parking–the Director of Public Safety must authorize any exception in advance. Applications for faculty and staff parking are available in the Campus Service Center.

In lieu of a BCC ID card, special program staff who are not employed by the College must obtain a letter of introduction from the Vice President or Dean overseeing their area. They will present this letter to Human Resources in order to receive the signed certification form to present to the Campus Service Center. Parking permits will only be issued to bona fide members of the College community whose offices are at BCC.

Faculty and staff permits must be displayed upon entry to the campus and are generally placed on the vehicle’s rear view mirror with the print side facing outward. Hang tag permits may not be transferred from one employee to another. Lost hang-tag will not be replaced. A new hang-tag must be purchased.

All individuals with more than one car must register all vehicles on the parking application. If an employee obtains another vehicle after completing the parking application, please notify the Campus Service Center.  When using any other vehicle, including a loaner or rental car, please notify the Campus Service Office  in advance at extension 5365, indicating the length of time they expect to be driving something other than one of their registered vehicles. A temporary parking pass will be issue as needed.

Drop Off and Pick Up

All members of the College community who are driven to and from campus (by car or by taxi) are asked to cooperate with the College policy of being let out and picked up outside the campus. To reduce the risk of accidents, all passengers are strongly encouraged to exit and enter vehicles in the designated drop off/pick up area located directly east of the main gate. However, faculty or staff who have documented mobility impairment may contact the Department of Public Safety (718-289-5923) to request a drop off pass. This temporary, special permit allows the vehicle transporting the individual to enter the Bronx Community College campus, proceed directly to the appropriate campus building, make the drop off or pick up and then immediately exit the campus. For reasons of pedestrian safety and traffic flow, this practice is strongly discouraged, but will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Visitor Parking

Visitor parking is severely limited and cannot be guaranteed. All faculty and staff who expect a visitor who would like to park on campus must request a visitor pass at least 24 hours prior to the visit; all requests will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis.

Requests may be called in to the Department of Public Safety at extension 5923, sent by inter office mail to Loew Hall-Room 510 or faxed to extension 6359. Regardless of the method, all requests must include: the visitor’s name; the time and date of the visit; his or her vehicle’s year, make, model and color; the requester’s name, department, building and room number and campus extension.

Pre-written visitor tags will be held at the main gate and given to the visitor upon arrival. A campus peace officer will instruct the individual as to where to place the permit and then direct the visitor to an appropriate parking area. The visitor pass is valid for one day only and must be returned to the main gate security booth upon departure from the campus.

TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT AND PENALTIES

Bronx Community College employs Campus Peace Officers to ensure the safety of persons and property. All persons using College parking facilities are expected to cooperate fully with officers and accept their directions and suggestions. In accordance with College policy, Public Safety Officers will place “Illegally Parked” stickers on vehicles as appropriate, issue fines and immobilize vehicles. Anyone who repeatedly violates College parking and traffic regulations will forfeit their privilege of using College parking facilities.

Please note that:

Owners of illegally parked or operated vehicles are subject to disciplinary action, including, but not limited to, the suspension of campus parking privileges.

Parked vehicles that pose an imminent threat to public safety are subject to removal from campus at the owner’s expense.

Where applicable, the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law and the New York City Traffic Regulations are in effect. Where applicable, these regulations also apply to cyclists.
