Traffic & Parking Regulations

General

The Parking Services Office at Monroe Community College is committed to providing employees, students and visitors with efficient customer service and solutions to meet the parking needs of the College community. The rules and regulations that have been established are to help maintain a safe and orderly parking environment. The MCC Parking Services Office is responsible for the enforcement of these rules and regulations to facilitate organized parking and safeguard members of the College community. Customer service and the safety of the college community is our top priority.

The New York State Motor Vehicle and Traffic Law is also in full force and effect on the campus. The Monroe County Parking Program establishes fees and fines for parking on the campus.

All motor vehicles parked on lots owned by Monroe County and held in trust for Monroe Community College must be registered with Parking Services, or park at a parking meter.
