The operation of a motor vehicle on Buffalo State property is covered under New York State Education Law, Section 360, which authorizes the State University to adopt and make applicable to its campuses any and all provisions of the Vehicle and Traffic Law. Regulations have been developed and are enforced to provide for the safety and convenience of students, faculty, employees, and visitors while on the Buffalo State campus.

All vehicles parked on campus are required to display valid parking permits according to permit instructions. Permits applied for before the Add/Drop period concludes have their cost applied to their student bill. First-year (freshman) and second-year (sophomore) students who reside in Buffalo State residence halls are not permitted to register or park a vehicle on campus but can apply for a medical, employment, or academic exemption.  

Vehicles may not park near fire hydrants or in fire lanes or other emergency zones; create any hazard; or interfere with the free and proper use of roadways, walkways, driveways, or parking areas.

Parking is prohibited:

• on campus roads, except where permitted by sign.
• on sidewalks, walkways, and pedestrian areas.
• on lawns and grounds.
• in load zones.
• in areas posted with signs or pavement markings that prohibit or restrict parking.
• in areas not clearly designated as parking spaces.
• in parking lot aisles, entrances, or exits.
• on or over painted parking lines.
• in areas of the campus specifically restricted by barricades or other traffic-control devices.

Violators of campus traffic and parking rules and regulations are subject to the issuance of a summons, returnable to Buffalo State. Fines must be received within 30 calendar days. Fines not received within 30 calendar days are assessed late fees.

Unpaid fines may be deducted from the wages of an offending university employee. Student registration may be placed on hold if they carry an outstanding delinquent balance with Parking Services. Vehicles with outstanding parking summonses are subject to immobilization or towing.

For Information on parking permits, citation appeals, rules, regulations, EV Charging Stations, safe escort services and the student shuttle services can be found on the Buffalo State Parking Services website.
