If you are a member of the University of Ottawa community you can purchase a parking permit that allows you to park in the designated area identified with the accessible parking pictogram. To do so, you must present your Ministry of Transportation Accessible Parking Permit to the parking office, when you apply for and pick up your University of Ottawa permit.
By displaying your University of Ottawa Parking Permit and your Accessible Parking Permit from the MTO, you have access to any exterior parking lot.

Students, faculty and staff who are parking permit holders and have special needs for a definite period of time must provide a medical note to Academic Support (students) or Human Resources (employees), who will make arrangements with the Parking and Sustainable Transportation Office.
Please note that the temporary parking accomodation allows for closer parking for a duration of up to three months. If you require accessible parking for a period exceeding three months, you must provide a Ministry of Transportation Accessible Parking Permit.
