Faculty, staff with parking permits should register vehicles for license plate recognition program testing

The license plate recognition system related to campus parking, previously announced in Purdue Today, is currently undergoing testing on the West Lafayette campus.

Parking Facilities sent emails to active permit holders in January with instructions to begin registering vehicles to facilitate live testing of the software program and equipment in all surface lots and parking garages, with the exception of the Grant Street Parking Garage and Harrison Street Parking Garage. Individuals should complete this step soon in order to test the system more effectively, and those who do so before mid-August should continue to display their current, physical parking permit on their vehicle’s windshield. While testing of the license plate recognition system is underway, parking enforcement for existing permit holders will continue to be based on physical permit status and visibility until the project’s implementation in August.

Faculty and staff are able to register multiple vehicles, and students may register one vehicle per permit online using the following steps:

* Visit the online parking portal at https://purdue.t2hosted.com/Account/Portal.

* Select “Vehicles” from the top navigation section of the webpage.

* Login with Purdue career account credentials.

* Click “Add Vehicle” to add a vehicle to the account, or click the underlined license plate number of an existing vehicle to edit the information.

* Click “Permits” in the top navigation bar, followed by “View Your Permits.”

* Select a permit number listed.

* Click “Add Vehicles to Permit” at the bottom of the page.

* Check the box next to the vehicle(s) to be associated with the permit and select “Add the selected vehicle.”

Permit holders may add or delete vehicles from their online accounts anytime. 

Additional information about departmental shared permits, families with more than one Purdue employee and other details of the license plate recognition program are included in the FAQ section of the Parking Facilities website.

Faculty and staff who do not already have a parking permit and wish to obtain one should follow the instructions on the Parking Permits webpage. All new permit holders will then need to register their vehicle(s) with the license plate recognition system using the abovementioned steps.

The implementation of the license plate recognition system program is anticipated to occur in phases. Additional information about the phased implementation will be shared in the coming weeks.
