Metered parking and Orange Zone 202 parking around the Residence Halls and Greek houses are also enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Enforcing Major Violations

Only major violations are being enforced. These include yellow zones, fire lanes, accessible spaces, "U" parking, reserved parking, and all other no parking areas.

LPR (License Plate Recognition)

Parking on campus is monitored through License Plate Recognition (LPR). LPR is a virtual permitting system that will allow for staffing efficiencies, lot monitoring, and better utilization and enforcement of parking lots.

A camera system is attached to Transportation Services vehicles. These cameras scan license plates when vehicles are parked on the University of Wyoming campus. License plates are then compared to the permit database.

License plates, temporary license plates, or a bill of sale must be clearly visible from the drive lane. Only one vehicle per permit is allowed on campus at a time.

Vehicles parking in permit lots must display a valid University parking permit designated for that lot, along with clearly displaying the vehicle license plate from the driving lane.

Data Collected
The LPR system captures photos of observed vehicles with a photo of the vehicle and its immediate surroundings and a photo of the vehicle license plate. Along with the photographic data, LPR also records the global positioning system coordinates and date/time information of the observation.

Use of Personal Data

Personal Data collected by the LPR system may be used for:

Parking management - such as parking lot utilization analyses and improving customer experience
Parking enforcement - such as determining vehicle’s parking permit permissions, issuing and supporting the issuance of parking citations, processing responses to parking citations
Safety & security - such as addressing immediate or on-going safety concerns, conducting specific investigations, and/or cooperating with compulsory law enforcement investigations

Sharing of Personal Data
Personal data may be shared with third-party vendors (such as information technology and LPR solutions providers) for storage and processing of personal data. Personal data may also be shared to comply with a valid legal process, governmental request, or applicable law, rule or regulation. Personal data will not be sold or licensed to any third-parties for secondary commercial purposes.

Retention
Personal data collected through the LPR system that results in an enforcement action will be retained as needed. Personal data that does not result in an enforcement action may be retained for up to ninety (90) days.

Access
Access to records created or maintained by the LPR system is restricted to trained personnel performing their professional duties. Access to the system by others is prohibited.
