Understanding Towing and Impounding Policies at Boise State
Boise State University Policy 12130 clearly outlines the university’s right to impound or tow vehicles that violate parking regulations, regardless of whether the vehicle has a parking permit. These actions are taken at the vehicle owner’s expense. Several violations can lead to immediate towing, including:
- Parking in Fire Lanes: Vehicles parked in designated fire lanes will not only receive a citation but are also subject to immediate impoundment or towing due to the critical safety risks they pose.
- Accessible Parking Violations: Parking in designated accessible parking spaces without a valid accessible permit is strictly prohibited. Violators will be ticketed and may have their vehicles immediately towed.
- Accumulated Unpaid Citations: Boise State University takes repeat parking offenses seriously. Vehicles associated with six or more unpaid parking citations, for which the owner has received Parking Privileges Revoked notices, are subject to impoundment. To release an impounded vehicle under these circumstances, full payment of all outstanding citations is mandatory.
Towing services for Boise State University are managed by B & W Wrecker Service, located at 20 S. Garden Boise, and reachable at (208) 342-2541. Please note that all towing fees must be settled directly with the towing company using cash or credit card to secure the vehicle’s release. Boise State University is not liable for any damages that may occur during the towing process.
Reporting a Stolen Parking Permit
If your Boise State parking permit has been stolen, it’s important to take immediate action. The first step is to officially report the theft to the Boise Police Department through their online portal: Boise City Online Crime Reporting. After filing your report online, visit the Transit Center on campus. The staff there will assist you with obtaining a replacement permit to ensure you can continue parking on campus without disruption.
By being informed and proactive, Boise State University aims to create a safe and orderly parking environment for everyone on campus.
