Parking Improvements

2020: We have expanded our use of LPR technology to include Fixed-LPR at our Guard House entrances. When you pull up to the stop at any of the Guard Houses, the guard will be alerted that your vehicle does or does not have a valid permit for the lots beyond that entrance. Along with this new feature, we will be offering more Virtual Permits.

2019: The Parking Department introduced License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology as an aid to parking enforcement. The LPR Truck is more efficiently monitoring lots ensuring space availability for those who are registered. Remember that all vehicles must park so the license plate faces the drive lane. All Faculty, Staff, and Students can use the Parking Portal to register and manage vehicle information. Please see our video for more details.

2020: Throw away your hangtag! The Virtual Permit is all you need. For Faculty and Staff who registered in the past year, your Virtual Permit will be Auto-Renewed at the end of August for another year. We recommend you login to the Parking Portal and check that your vehicle information is accurate and up to date. An email with more details will be sent in August. To remove a vehicle from your account, please contact the Parking Office.

2019: The introduction of License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology required Faculty and Staff to register for Virtual Permits. Using the Parking Portal, Faculty and Staff can continue to manage their accounts insuring plate information is accurate. Remember that all vehicles must park so the plate faces the drive lane.

2020: Villanova supports our electric vehicle (EV) drivers by continuing to expand and improve our charging station technology on campus. Starting summer of 2020, EV drivers now have three locations on campus in which they can charge, I-1, M-2, and S-4 lots. Three ChargePoint dual plug level 2 stations have been installed at each location, for a total of 18 charging locations throughout campus. More information about ChargePoint Stations and the App can be found here.

2019: The I-1 Garage on Ithan Avenue has been designated as the parking lot for Visitors to campus.

Please instruct all Visitors to park in the I-1 Garage. A parking attendant will be on duty at the Ithan entrance from 7am-9pm to assist Visitors. Visitors must obtain a ticket upon entering the garage and use the machines located near the elevators to process payment upon returning to validate the ticket. A validated ticket is required to exit the garage. See Rates

A new form on the Parking Portal has been instituted to accommodate a speaker or vendor with inner campus parking. Daytime parking availability is limited, and all vehicles admitted to inner campus will require License Plate Registration. Departments with frequent event speakers or vendors will be provided a unique login to the Parking Portal for a Guest Pass Request. Please contact the Parking Office to discuss setting up a Department Login. User Guides for Departments and Guest are here.

Please notify the Parking Office in advance of any event exceeding 25 visitors, so we can insure visitor parking in the I-1 Garage.
