License Plate Recognition (LPR) is an advanced parking technology that provides virtual permits through a vehicle’s license plate instead of paper permits, sticker decals or hangtags. LPR increases parking efficiency on campus, provides convenience for the parking customer and greatly reduces the amount of paper and plastic waste produced.

LPR camera-equipped vehicles will drive through lots while the cameras read license plates automatically and verifies that a valid permit exists in the LPR database.

Individuals will register their vehicle plate information into the online parking system for their virtual permit. The LPR software then combines this information with the individual’s UNG status and generates a virtual permit linked to that vehicle’s license plate number.

When a vehicle parks on campus, the license plate is captured by the cameras mounted on the enforcement vehicles. LPR works similar to a supermarket scanner with your license plate functioning as the barcode.  When read, the numbers of your plate are automatically referenced against the parking database to verify a valid permit and the proper parking privileges for the parking space location. If the license plate is not associated with a valid virtual permit or the vehicle is parked in an inappropriate lot (Employees vs. General), then the vehicle will be subject to a ticket.

Eliminates the need to display a physical decal or hangtag.

Eliminates having to return to your vehicle to display a paper permit.

Lost or stolen permits and the associated replacement fees, police reports and processing times will be eliminated.

No more forgetting your permit, a permit falling from a rear view mirror or being displayed improperly.

Reduces waste and litter in and around campus.

Eliminate plastic permits production - manufacturing impacts such as fossil fuels, carbon footprint of factory/facilities.

Eliminate disposal of expired and unused plastic permits.

Eliminate delivery (fossil fuel, emissions, vehicle/road wear and tear).

Individuals are allowed to register up to 3 vehicles under the same virtual permit. 

The LPR technology will recognize the first vehicle on campus as valid, but any additional vehicles found on campus at the same time, under the same virtual permit, will be subject to a ticket.

Individuals are allowed to add/remove vehicles to their parking permit at any time; this includes loaner vehicles and rental cars. It is important that you remove vehicles from your account as soon as your use of the temporary vehicle has ended.

The LPR system has difficulty recognizing vehicles listed on multiple virtual permit accounts. To avoid being cited in error, we recommend only listing your vehicle on your own virtual permit. If the vehicle has a valid virtual permit, listing the vehicle on another account is not necessary. 

All permits are non-transferable and can only be used by the individual whom it is issued to. Permit privileges will be revoked for any individuals found sharing virtual permits or in violation of the UNG Parking Regulations.
