Accessibility Parking
Accessibility parking is not a special privilege, but a necessity. The spaces are needed to give people with mobility limitations the same opportunities to use public or private facilities as people who do not have disabilities.
Minnesota State Mankato Accessibility Permit privileges (Regular and Temporary Needs)
At no cost accessibility parking privileges are provided to anyone who possesses a state issued accessibility dashboard permit or vehicle plate. These individuals may park in any vacant accessibility tall, including designated parking areas like Gold, Purple, Orange, Free (Lot 23 and Lot 22 South until November 1), or FlowBird time sensitive stalls. However, 24-hour stalls including Green area residence hall stalls and Brown leased area parking stalls (lot 22 North) will require University Security review of a 24-hour overnight parking request.
Possess a government issued accessibility dashboard certificate or vehicle plate
Disability Parking Certificate
For students, faculty and staff who are temporarily disabled they must apply to the State of Minnesota to obtain temporary accessible parking privileges. The State of Minnesota has guidelines in place on who does and doesn’t qualify for a temporary accessibility permit. This process can be completed at the Blue Earth County Government Center located at 410 S. 5th St. Mankato, MN or your local DMV location.
Weather Related Accessibility
University Grounds Maintenance to Address weather demands on accessibility parking stalls.
Accessibility parking stalls are a priority with removal of snow and ice. Given winter weather conditions it is not unusual to have stalls filled in with ice and snow not long after the stalls have been cleared and sanded. Customers are welcomed to contact Security if they find clogged accessibility stalls
