You do not need to register your vehicles with JCCC in order to park on campus. However, increasing enrollment makes spaces sometimes difficult to find, especially during the peak hours of 8:30 a.m. to noon, so allow extra time.

Parking lots are marked with signs designating areas for students, visitors, handicapped, staff and faculty. Motorcycles and motor scooters are considered motor vehicles, and their operators are required to comply with all parking and traffic regulations.

Responsibility for finding a legal parking space rests with the motor vehicle operator. If you do not comply with campus parking regulations, you will be charged a fine. Fines must be paid within 10 business days of the violation. A hold will be placed on your JCCC record until the fine is paid.

Unauthorized vehicles in handicapped parking spaces may be ticketed by both JCCC's Police Department, and the Overland Park Police Department and subject to fines and fees from both institutions.

Parking violations for which you will be ticketed and fined are:

• Failure to display a parking sticker, if required
• Parking in a restricted area
• Parking in posted "No Parking" areas
• Parking on the grass
• Parking in loading zones/service areas
• Parking in a way that restricts the flow of traffic
• Parking in pedestrian areas or crossings
• Parking next to the curb
• Parking beyond the 30-minute limit where such a time limit is designated
• Any other improper parking

Failure to pay parking fines will result in further action being taken. After receipt of violation, your records will be placed on hold until the violation is paid or overturned by the appeal process. This action will not allow you to add/drop classes, enroll in future classes or obtain a copy of your transcript until the fines are paid.

Handicapped Parking

Only students, staff and visitors with state handicapped parking permits will be allowed to park in the handicapped areas. Enforcement of handicapped parking will be handled by Overland Park police or JCCC's Public Safety office. Violations written by Overland Park police will require the violator to appeal in Overland Park Municipal Court. Johnson County Community College will not be responsible for this action.

Bicycles

Bicycles do not need to be registered. Bicycle racks are available throughout the campus. Bicycles must be placed in these racks. They may not be locked to rails, lamp posts or trees or placed inside buildings.

Skateboards and Roller Blades

For the safety of everyone, skateboards, roller blades and scooters are prohibited on the campus. JCCC students who violate this policy will be referred to the vice president of Student Services, who will take action. Nonstudents will be referred to the director of Public Safety for appropriate action.
