Campus Safety

​The purpose of parking regulations is to ensure the safety of both vehicles and pedestrians in parking lots, as well as to maximize the utility of the lots. Parking procedures are included in the handout for students and part-time employees and full-time employees, retirees and vendors. Within these handouts, enforcement practices, parking restrictions, permit displays, and permit violations are covered.

​Parking enforcement at Citrus College is a necessary part of the overall parking management system and is the responsibility of campus safety. 

Parking enforcement ensures that students and employees will have a reasonable opportunity for parking and that individuals without appropriate authority or who have parked in an inappropriate area will be cited.

Campus safety personnel have the authority to issue parking citations under the auspices of the California Vehicle Code. Individuals who receive parking citations and neglect to pay appropriate fines may not be able to register their vehicles with the DMV. It is important that individuals who receive parking citations take appropriate action to either pay the fine or file an appeal through citruscollege.thepermitstore.com.

An unfortunate aspect of parking enforcement continues to be the adversarial attitude of some students and staff who receive parking citations. All complaints regarding parking enforcement should be directed to the campus safety office for appropriate review and response through the appeals process.​

​​​​The college provides approximately 3,250 parking stalls for students and employees. In addition, spaces designated as disabled, meter, loading or client are provided throughout the campus; they are signed and labeled appropriately.

The Citrus College parking procedures, the California Vehicle Code, and the ordinances of the City of Glendora are in effect and enforced on the Citrus College campus at all times. Citations are issued according to the printed and posted regulations. ​

​​​​​It is the policy of the department, ​the following restricted parking areas will be enforced 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

• red curbs/zones
• fire lanes/hydrants
• college district vehicle parking
• disabled parking
• loading zones
• reserved parking for the superintendent/president

​​A vehicle may not park or stop at a red curb. Red curbs indicate a fire lane or emergency vehicle access route.​

​​​​All roads and driveways on the Citrus College campus which are fire lanes must be kept unobstructed and available to emergency response vehicles at all times. Access to fire hydrants must also be maintained at all times. Any vehicle presenting a hazard by obstructing a fire lane or a fire hydrant may be towed immediately. ​

​​​All district vehicle parking stalls and zones are enforced 24 hours daily, seven days a week. District vehicles are exempt from posted loading time restrictions.

​​​​Spaces for handicapped drivers are available in all campus lots. Vehicles using these spaces must display a valid DMV placard or license plate and have a valid parking permit. Drivers displaying valif DMV placards or license plates may park in any spaces, except red zones and designated or reserved stalls. The minimum fine for illegally parking in a disabled space is $330.

​​​​Loading zones are identified with a yellow curb or yellow crosshatch and the words "Loading Zone" painted on the pavement. Parking is permitted for ten (10) minutes to facilitate the immediate loading and unloading of material. Loading zones for passengers are identified with a green curb. If it is necessary for the vehicle to remain longer than ten (10) minutes, the vehicle should be moved to a student parking space. The driver MUST obtain a temporary one-day parking permit from campus safety or automated pay station machine before parking in the student parking space.​

​​​​​Overnight parking is prohibited unless previously authorized by campus safety. Only vehicles displaying overnight permits may park overnight. Camping or residing in a motor vehicle on college property is prohibited. Overnight parking is between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. ​

​​​All motorcycles, mopeds, motorized bicycles and scooters must park in areas designated for motorcycles. ​

​All vehicles must be parked in parking spaces head-in first. A citation is issued for failure to comply with this regulation. ​

​Campus speed limit is 15 miles per hour in all parking areas.​

​Operating a motor vehicle on campus sidewalks, malls, lawns, or any surface not specifically designated as a campus road, street, or driveway is prohibited. Only authorized vehicles have service access to these areas. ​

​The removal of any traffic directional or parking sign, fence, barricade, warning device, or other marker used to direct or control vehicle movement is prohibited. In the event of such activity, disciplinary action may be taken, including the filing of criminal charges and/or notification of the appropriate dean or vice president.​
