License Plate Recognition (LPR) & Virtual Permitting

CSULB uses License Plate Recognition (LPR) and paperless permitting system. Plastic hangtags and paper permits are not issued or required. Your license plate will function as your parking permit.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Since this systems relies so heavily on your license plate information for permit verification, it is very important that your license plate number is entered correctly into our online system in order to avoid an unnecessary citation.

By leveraging new technology like LPR, our campus eliminates a mountain of waste that would be headed to our landfills every semester. Items removed include sticker permits, sticker backing paper, plastic hangtags, paper day passes, paper receipts and over 18,000 paper envelopes used to mail physical permits each semester!
