No. 1.6.09 Requests for Reserved Parking for Disabled Persons
1.0 Purpose
To provide a procedure and establish criteria for assignment of reserved
disabled parking for Medical College of Georgia (MCG) employees, faculty and
students.
2.0 Policy
The Parking Services Bureau, Public Safety Division, is responsible for
providing reserved disabled parking to employees, faculty, and students that
meet the outlined disabled parking criteria. Reserved parking can be
provided on a temporary or permanent basis. Reserved, disabled parking will
only be provided to those persons who are unable to travel without the use
of crutches, a wheelchair, or other assisting devices, or to those persons
who are qualified persons with a disability for whom such accommodation is
reasonable and necessary under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
3.0 Procedure
3.1 Requesters possessing a state issued
disabled parking permit will be required to provide a copy of the permit
to be maintained on file at the Parking Services office. The requestor
will be required to complete an application (see
attached form) for permanent disabled
reserved parking. This application will be maintained on file in the
individual folder. The Public Safety Division, as a law enforcement
agency, reserves the right to require additional information in all
cases.
3.2 Requesters that do not possess a state
issued permit, but require a temporary disabled parking permit, may
contact the Parking Services office to obtain an application for special
parking. The requester will ensure that the form is completed and
returned to the parking office. The form requires information from the
requester, the requester direct supervisor, and the department head.
The requester attending physician must sign the application. In any
case wherein there is a question as to whether or not the requester
qualifies for disabled parking, the Public Safety Division reserves the
right to refer the requester to an MCG physician for evaluation.
3.3 Temporary, reserved parking will be
issued for no more than 30 days initially, with only one additional
extension being granted for another 30 days. In order for the requester
to maintain the disabled parking reservation, he or she must apply for,
and be granted, a permanent state disabled parking slot or be granted an
exemption by the Parking Advisory Committee. Parkers not granted an
exemption would have their space removed immediately if the Parking
Advisory Committee denies their request. The
MCG Parking Office reserves the right to review non-permanent disability
permits as necessary. Disabled parkers are required to renew their
parking permits annually per the normal parking registration process.
3.4 In accordance with Georgia Law, any
misuse or abuse of disabled parking permits will be reported to the
Georgia Department of Public Safety.
3.5 The Parking Services Bureau shall
locate approved disabled parking as near to the requester workplace as
possible, or as near to an MCG MedExpress shuttle stop, to make
reasonable accommodations for the parker. A numbered permit, signed by
the Parking Services Manager, will be issued and displayed by hanging on
the rear view mirror of the vehicle(s) used by the requester. The
hanging tag will be numbered and correspond to a numbered parking slot
in the designated area. Only one slot per eligible employee will be
issued.
3.6 In any case concerning a question as to
whether or not the requester is qualified for a disabled parking slot,
the requester may be referred to an MCG physician for further
evaluation. If the requester does not agree with the decision rendered,
an appeal may be filed. All appeals will be evaluated by the Parking
Advisory Committee and a final decision rendered.
