Parking and Traffic Guidelines

Parking at the Westchester Campuses

Parking is only available on the Pleasantville and Elisabeth Haub School of Law campuses. All students, faculty, staff, contract employees, and visitors must display a valid parking permit or temporary hang tag and are obligated to adhere to the University’s parking regulations (PDF) at all times while on campus.

Parking is limited and obtaining a parking permit does not guarantee the availability or location of a parking space. The responsibility for finding a legal parking space rests with the motor vehicle operator. Lack of space is not a valid reason for violating Pace University’s parking regulations.

To request a parking permit or appeal a citation visit the Pace University Parking Portal.

Questions about parking and traffic at Pace University may be directed to traffic@pace.edu.
