Title: Discounted Parking Options and Restrictions
Date of Current Version: January 2019
Replaces Version: April 2012
Background
The Center works with Iowa City’s Parking/Transit Division to offer convenient and affordable parking
options for Center members and volunteers.
Parking for Center Members and Volunteers
1. Discounted parking permits and hourly parking validation tickets for the Tower Place parking
garage are available for members of The Center to purchase. Center volunteers are provided with
free parking while volunteering.
2. Annual and semi-annual parking permits are issued based upon the fiscal year (July 1—June 30).
Permit fees are not prorated to the time of purchase.
3. All available discounted parking opportunities for Center members and volunteers are provided
through a cooperative agreement between The Center and Iowa City’s Parking/Transit Division.
4. Holding any type of a Center-issued parking pass or permit does not guarantee a parking space
will be available.
5. Discounted parking permits can be moved from vehicle to vehicle, but one permit cannot be
used to fund two (2) or more vehicles parking at the same time.
6. Center members who have a valid state-issued persons with disabilities parking permit must
also have a Center-issued parking placard on display to park in a Center-designated disabled
parking space. Vehicles without a state-issued permit and Center-issued placard will be
ticketed.
Revenue
1. All revenue generated by the discounted parking program shall be handled in accordance with City
policy and deposited as revenue in The Center’s current operational budget.
Exclusions
1. Discounted parking for Center members and volunteers is only available for time spent on site
while actively supporting or participating in Center sponsored programs and services.
2. Employees of The Center or any in-house agency who are also members of The Center are
prohibited from using a Center parking permit of any sort during their regular work hours.
3. The Center does not provide any parking discounts for the participants or employees and
volunteers working for an in-house agency or with a non-Center affiliated group or organization.
Each agency/organization is responsible for all parking arrangements offered to its employees,
volunteers, and participants.
4. Parking in a space signed as a Center loading zone is prohibited unless the driver is actively
engaged in the process of loading or unloading or prior approval by the coordinator or designee
has been secured. Violators may be ticketed.

5. At the discretion of the coordinator or designee, substantiated abuse of benefits associated with
the discounted parking program shall result in the revocation of an individual’s parking permit
and benefits.
Administration
The Center coordinator or designee is responsible for overseeing implementation of the parking options
available to members and volunteers.
