These areas include, but are not limited to, Yellow and Orange zones.
No overnight parking is allowed except in authorized areas for University on-campus residents with proper permit.
Vehicles may be parked in Blue 1, Green and Tan zones without a permit during the week prior to the fall and spring semesters to allow students, faculty and staff time to purchase an annual parking permit.

�԰��ɫ��, Reno at Lake Tahoe

The �԰��ɫ��, Reno at Lake Tahoe’s parking system is based on a zoned parking system. Currently, all parking lots are designated as a Blue 1 parking zone and a Blue 1 parking permit is required to park on campus. Additionally, Blue 1 Lake Tahoe permits are valid on the main campus in the same Blue 1 parking zone. Conversely, all valid main campus parking permits may be utilized on the Lake Tahoe campus in all Blue 1 zones (excluding reserved or metered spaces). Zone permit fees can be found on the parking permit fees page.
