Parking is available in nine centrally-located lots on the Mansfield Campus. There is presently no registration or fee for parking. Each parking lot is numbered with big blue and white numbers on the middle poles of each lot. If you call for assistance, be prepared to share the lot number with Security at 419-755-4346. Parking is restricted to the parking lots. Parking on the oval, along roadways & shoulders, on the grass, across white lines in the parking lots, on sidewalks, in dock areas, along curbs, adjacent to fire hydrants, in fire-lanes, behind buildings, along access drives, or in any area marked “Restricted” or “No Parking—Tow-Away Zone” is prohibited and subject to fine and possible towing. When using any of the campus parking areas, valuables should be kept out of sight, detachable stereos should be removed, and vehicles should be locked. Students should avoid using the remote parking areas during hours of darkness if possible. Special parking is available for the physically disabled, and is clearly marked. These spaces should only be used by those who have a state issued handicapped license or placard prominently displayed.
