Your License Plate is Your Parking Access

Parking at meters and pay station lots requires additional payment. 

Adding a New Vehicle

Virtual parking access is verified with License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology through CU Boulder enforcement. The license plates of the vehicle(s) parking patrons plan to drive to campus must be registered with Parking Services. You may add a new vehicle/license plate by signing into your or calling the Parking Services' Customer Service Specialists.
