Many Denver-Boulder area members of the news media have received media parking permits for ���������� campus parking in the past. Going forward, news fleets will be issued virtual passes, allowing you to park on our campus without having to keep track of a physical placard.

CU Parking Services (PS) is now using license plate reader (LPR) technology, allowing us to proactively certify news vehicles with parking privileges for any permit or hourly pay-to-park lots on our campus. Please see below for use and restrictions.

The Process

���������� Strategic Media Relations will be in touch with fleet managers periodically to acquire plate numbers for news vehicles likely to be used on campus. We will issue passes to news company vehicles in the Denver-Boulder metro area. We will also collect plate numbers from personal vehicles typically used for gathering news. Unless you are a fleet manager or assignment desk personnel, no action is required of you.

If you typically drive a company vehicle and need to use a personal vehicle in an emergency, or if you need to register a new company vehicle, please email cunews@colorado.edu or call 303-735-0122.
