CAMPUS BICYCLE PATROL

The police department's bicycle patrol program has proven to be an excellent method of policing the campus and bringing the officers into closer contact with the college community. Initiated in 1993, one patrol officer on each shift is assigned to bicycle patrol on the campus. The department presently owns two mountain bikes for this operation. There are many benefits associated with bicycle patrol. The mobility of the bicycles enables the officer to move silently in and out of designated areas more frequently. A bicycle patrol can move through congested areas more easily. The bicycle patrol officer is more approachable than the officer in a vehicular patrol, which facilitates one on one contact with the public. Since weather conditions are a major disadvantage to the bicycle patrol, bicycle patrols are suspended during inclement weather conditions.

PARKING AND CAMPUS VEHICLE REGISTRATION INFORMATION

The Texas Education Code and the CTCD Board of Trustees give the CTC Police Department the authority to regulate parking and traffic on campus and to issue parking permits and citations. Each person operating a motor vehicle or motorcycle on campus shall be held responsible for obeying all campus parking regulations as well as all state parking and traffic laws.

Central Texas College considers the use of a vehicle on campus a convenience and is not obligated to furnish unlimited parking to accommodate all vehicles.

Central Texas College will, however, attempt to provide a reasonable number of parking spaces in keeping with available resources, but it does not assume any liability concerning the protection of motor vehicles.

Parking
Student, staff and guest parking is available in parking lots throughout campus EXCEPT WHERE MARKED "No Parking", "Reserved", "20 Minute Parking", "Maintenance", "Official Use", "Handicapped", or "Adjunct Faculty", or where temporarily designated for a special individual or activity. The entire vehicle must be within the boundaries of the marked space indicated by the painted yellow or white lines. Reserved parking spaces are limited to full-time staff members only and requires a yearly fee. Vehicles parked in violation of these parking regulations may be towed to a local storage facility. Any charges incurred will be the responsibility of the owner/driver. The vehicle owner/driver will be responsible for finding a legal parking space, and the lack of parking spaces close to where the student or staff member works or attends class is not a valid excuse for violating any parking regulation. Students are never allowed to park in "Reserved" spaces, "20 Minute" spaces or "Official Use" spaces when attending class.
Vehicles in violation of any state law, rule or regulation regulating parking on campus can be immobilized or towed to a storage facility. All charges incurred become the responsibility of the vehicle owner or operator.

Handicapped Parking
Only those persons who are in compliance with TRC Subtitle H. Chapter 681.002 are authorized to use parking spaces reserved for handicapped persons. Those who are in compliance will have a designated numbered placard hung on the rearview mirror, or license plate issued by the county tax collector of the county in which they reside. Those individuals with temporary handicapped parking letters issued by the CTC Office of Disability Support Services, will place the authorization letter on the driver's side dashboard, visible for verification. Those individuals who are not in compliance with the above mentioned statue will be issued a Justice of the Peace Citation, with a fine not to exceed $500.00, or a Campus parking citation with a fine not to exceed $50.00. The Campus Police reserve the right to verify the identity of the owner of a handicapped placard.

Abandoned Vehicles/Found Property
Vehicles left on campus for a period of 48 hours or more will be considered abandoned unless prior approval is given by the Campus Police. The vehicle will be tagged and if not removed within the specified time period it will be inventoried and turned over (towed) to a vehicle storage facility for further disposition. All towing charges incurred will be the responsibility of the owner/driver. All abandoned or found property is turned in to the Campus Police and if not claimed within 30 days by the owner will be disposed of in accordance with applicable state laws. For further information consult the office of the Campus Police.
