Virtual Permits and License Plate Recognition (LPR) - Information
We are excited to share important updates regarding our transition to Virtual Permits using License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology, for parking at California State University, San Bernardino and the Palm Desert Campus. This innovative change is part of our ongoing commitment to enhance campus efficiency, convenience, and sustainability.
Key Updates:
We will be doing a phased transition to virtual permits.
Beginning Fall Semester 2024, all Residence Hall and Student Academic Year permits will be 100% virtual! This means that students purchasing those parking permits will no longer receive a physical parking permit, your license plate is now your permit.
We will continue to transition to all virtual permits in the following phases:
