UCLA uses license plate recognition technology at all Westwood medical facilities (100, 200, and 300 Medical Plaza buildings, Jules Stein, and Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center). This system is designed to reduce tailgating, gate tampering, and other attempts to avoid payment. Violations may result in fines, loss of parking privileges, or other actions permitted under California Vehicle Code 21113(a).
It also supports a safer, more efficient parking experience by protecting campus property and ensuring fair use of medical parking resources.
How the System Works
- Entry: Press the button at the gate to receive a ticket. Your ticket links your license plate to your payment method.
- Payment: Take your ticket and pay at one of the pay stations before returning to your vehicle.
- Exit: The system reads your license plate and automatically opens the gate upon exit.
What to Keep in Mind
- Always take a ticket upon entry.
- After your appointment or visit, pay at the nearest pay station machine.
- Do not tailgate or tamper with gates; such actions violate parking regulations and may result in fines.
- Allow extra time for potential delays during peak hours as each vehicle undergoes a mandatory verification process upon exit.
- If you experience issues at a pay station machine or gate, press the intercom button for immediate assistance.
- Regulations for UCLA staff and faculty permit holders who crosspark for medical appointments will remain unchanged.
