Anyone with a JMU parking permit may park in specially designated loading/unloading spaces for up to 30 minutes. If you are unable to locate one of these spaces in the area you need access to, you may obtain a virtual temporary loading/unloading permit from Parking and Transit Services. There is no charge for a temporary loading/unloading permit if you already possess a current JMU parking permit. The fee for a temporary loading/unloading permit is $3 if you do not currently have a current JMU parking permit. You may not create your own space or park on sidewalks or grass to gain closer access to a building.
