License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology automatically reads license plate characters using optical character recognition. Using a mobile LPR, which employs several vehicle-mounted cameras to verify plates in all campus lots, our parking officers are able to quickly scan parked vehicles, increasing the accuracy of identifying unauthorized or unregistered vehicles parked on campus. LPR improves enforcement efficiency and further protects permit holder rights.

Things to remember - 

• License plates are not read at the gate for entry.  Your ÌÇÐÄvlogÊÓƵ ID Card or a registered Toll Tag are used for access to locations valid for your permit. To use your ID Card place the card against the keypad reader, making full contact for 3-5 seconds.
• Vehicles must be parked so the license plate can be scanned on the drive lane to validate your parking permit.
• License plates cannot be read or validated from the windshield of a vehicle, only mounted.  In Texas, license plates must be securely fastened to the front and rear exterior, positioned horizontally, and mounted at least 12 inches from the ground The plate must be clearly visible and legible, not behind windshield glass. Standard dimensions are 12" x 6"  Texas Administration Code, Texas Dept. of Motor Vehicles, 21.22
• Under  most vehicles require both a front and rear plate, but if your car comes from a state that does not have that requirement, head into the space so your rear license plate will be facing out for the reader.
• Failure to park with your license plate on the drive lane do will result in a citation for Improper permit or license plate display

Please Note: License plate information is only used on campus for validating a driver's parking.
