Section 1 – GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE ENFORCEMENT

The California Vehicle Code (CVC) is enforced on all University roadways and other areas of University property where applicable. All official traffic control devices, parking control signs, pavement markings, and other traffic and parking regulations are enforceable on University property.

These Parking and Traffic Regulations are adopted pursuant to ¹ú®aa¢¥aÂ鶹University's authority to regulate the use of University property and are intended to supplement applicable provisions of the California Vehicle Code.

These Parking and Traffic Regulations apply to all individuals operating, parking, storing, or otherwise using a vehicle on property owned, leased, controlled, or maintained by ¹ú®aa¢¥aÂ鶹University. Compliance with these regulations is a condition of operating or parking a vehicle on University property.

For purposes of these regulations:

• Vehicle means any device by which a person or property may be transported or drawn upon a roadway, including, but not limited to, automobiles, motorcycles, motor-driven cycles, mopeds, electric bicycles, bicycles, scooters, mobility devices, trailers, recreational vehicles, and similar devices, unless otherwise specified.
• Registered Owner means the individual identified as the owner of a vehicle in the University's parking registration system, regardless of the vehicle's legal ownership or registration with any governmental agency. Unless otherwise determined by the Department of Public Safety, the Registered Owner is responsible for all parking citations, fines, fees, and other enforcement actions associated with the vehicle.

The Director of Public Safety, or their designee, is responsible for the administration and enforcement of these Parking and Traffic Regulations and may temporarily modify, suspend, or implement parking and traffic restrictions, designate temporary parking areas, and take any other action reasonably necessary to protect public safety, facilitate University operations, or respond to emergencies, construction activities, special events, or other operational needs.

These Parking and Traffic Regulations may be enforced by the Department of Public Safety and, as appropriate, by the California Highway Patrol, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, or any other law enforcement agency having applicable jurisdiction.

Violations of the California Vehicle Code, these Parking and Traffic Regulations, or the lawful directions of Department of Public Safety personnel may result in any enforcement action authorized by these regulations, including, but not limited to, verbal or written warnings, administrative citations, vehicle immobilization, relocation, impoundment at the owner's expense, suspension or revocation of parking and driving privileges, disciplinary action under applicable University policies, referral to appropriate University offices, or any combination thereof.

1.2 REPORT A CONCERN

Members of the ¹ú®aa¢¥aÂ鶹University community are encouraged to report parking and traffic violations through the LiveSafe app or by any other reporting method authorized by the Department of Public Safety.

Reports submitted to the Department of Public Safety will be reviewed and investigated, as appropriate. If sufficient information exists to establish that a violation of the California Vehicle Code or these Parking and Traffic Regulations has occurred, the Department of Public Safety may issue a warning or administrative citation, initiate other enforcement action authorized by these regulations, or refer the matter for disciplinary action under applicable University policies.

When feasible, warnings and citations will be placed on the vehicle's windshield. If the vehicle is no longer present when the report is reviewed, the Department of Public Safety may contact the registered owner or other affiliated member of the University community and pursue any enforcement action authorized by these regulations.

1.3 ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITY

Individuals who park or operate a vehicle on University property do so at their own risk. ¹ú®aa¢¥aÂ鶹University assumes no responsibility or liability for the theft of, or damage to, any vehicle or its contents, or for any other loss occurring while a vehicle is parked, operated, stored, or otherwise present on University property, except as may be required by applicable law.

The issuance of a parking permit, parking pass, or authorization to park on University property does not create a bailment or imply that the University assumes responsibility for the care, custody, or security of any vehicle or its contents.

1.4 VEHICLE SEARCHES

Under certain circumstances, the Department of Public Safety may access a vehicle and conduct an inventory of its contents. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, the retrieval of University property; investigation of a vehicle believed to contain a lost, stolen, fraudulent, counterfeit, altered, or otherwise unauthorized parking permit or pass; investigation of a vehicle displaying a permit or pass assigned to another individual or vehicle; or investigation of a vehicle reasonably believed to be involved in criminal activity or conduct that may violate University policy.

1.5 REVOCATION OF PARKING AND DRIVING PRIVILEGES

¹ú®aa¢¥aÂ鶹University reserves the right to suspend, revoke, restrict, or otherwise modify an individual's parking and driving privileges on University property at any time, in accordance with University policy.

1.6 EMERGENCY VEHICLE EXEMPTION

Vehicles operated by Department of Public Safety personnel in the performance of their official duties are designated as campus emergency vehicles, as defined by the California Vehicle Code, and are exempt from the provisions of these parking and traffic regulations to the extent permitted by law.

1.7 TAMPERING WITH PARKING AND TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNAGE OR DELINEATORS

The removal, relocation, damage, or tampering with any barrier, fence, delineator, A-frame, post, cone, sign, gate, or other device placed for traffic or parking control is prohibited. Violations may result in the issuance of a citation and/or disciplinary action, as applicable. This prohibition includes the unauthorized movement or removal of traffic control devices used to restrict access to John Tyler Drive during its nightly closure from 10:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.

1.8 USE OF RECREATIONAL DEVICES

The use of skateboards, hoverboards, roller skates, inline skates, scooters (including kick scooters and similar recreational devices), and other comparable recreational mobility devices is prohibited on University property, except as otherwise authorized by University policy.

Section 2 – VEHICLE REGISTRATION

2.1 VEHICLE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT

All motorized vehicles on campus, including motorcycles, must be appropriately registered with ¹ú®aa¢¥aÂ鶹University. 

University students and employees must complete annual vehicle registration at this Students are only permitted to register one vehicle. Students who 1) are beginning as a new student or starting a new program on Pepperdine's Malibu campus in fall 2026 and 2) wish to park a personal vehicle on the campus will be required to register their vehicle and pay a parking fee. The fee is $250 per semester for commuter students and $350 per semester for residential students. Summer term will not incur a fee. Students who do not bring a vehicle are not charged the fee. The parking fee applies only to new students and will be phased in over four years. Returning ¹ú®aa¢¥aÂ鶹students are not affected. Faculty and staff may register two vehicles without fee, with a $25 fee for each subsequent vehicle registered.

Wave Associates, Malibu Country Estates residents, campus vendors, and other affiliates should use this to complete their vehicle registration.

2.2 VISITOR PASSES

For purposes of these regulations, a visitor is any individual who is not employed by, enrolled at, or otherwise affiliated with ¹ú®aa¢¥aÂ鶹University as a contract vendor. Employees, students, and contract vendors operating an unregistered vehicle are not considered visitors and are not eligible for visitor parking privileges.

Visitor parking passes may be obtained at a campus entrance booth. A valid visitor pass must be displayed by hanging it from the vehicle's rearview mirror with the "Visitor Pass" side facing outward so that it is clearly visible from outside the vehicle. Visitor passes are valid only for the date of issuance.

Visitors may park in any legally designated parking space unless otherwise prohibited. Visitor parking is not permitted in red zones, yellow zones, reserved spaces, or accessible parking spaces unless the vehicle displays a valid DMV-issued accessible parking placard or license plate and is otherwise authorized to park in the space.

2.3 CARPOOL PASSES

¹ú®aa¢¥aÂ鶹employees and commuter students with a valid Faculty, Staff, or Commuter parking permit who arrive on campus with two or more occupants (including the driver) may obtain a carpool parking pass at the Seaver Drive or John Tyler Drive entrance booth. Carpool passes are available until 5:00 p.m. each weekday.

Vehicles displaying a valid carpool pass may park in designated carpool parking areas, which are identified by green-painted curbs and accompanying signage on Seaver Drive and Banowsky Boulevard, unless otherwise posted. The Main Lot carpool parking area is reserved for vehicles displaying a valid Faculty ("F") or Administrative ("AD") parking permit.

Carpool passes are valid only for the date of issuance and must be displayed by hanging the pass from the vehicle's rearview mirror with the "Carpool Pass" heading facing outward so that it is clearly visible from outside the vehicle.

2.4 TEMPORARY PERMIT

Temporary parking permits are available through the Department of Public Safety for students, employees, and contract vendors who are temporarily operating a vehicle other than one registered with the University, such as a rental vehicle, loaner vehicle, or borrowed vehicle. Applicants may be required to present valid identification and vehicle information before a temporary permit is issued.

Temporary permits are non-transferable, are valid only for the vehicle and dates specified on the permit, and must be properly displayed while the vehicle is on University property. Vehicles displaying a temporary permit are subject to all applicable University parking and traffic regulations and are afforded no additional parking privileges unless expressly indicated on the permit.

2.5 FAILURE TO REGISTER A VEHICLE

Any vehicle that is required to be registered with ¹ú®aa¢¥aÂ鶹University but is not properly registered, or that fails to properly display a valid parking permit or pass when required, is subject to enforcement action. Such action may include the issuance of a citation, vehicle immobilization, relocation, or impoundment at the owner's expense, disciplinary action, suspension or revocation of parking privileges, and/or loss of the privilege to operate a vehicle on University property.

2.6 FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY

Fraudulent or unauthorized use of the University's parking program is strictly prohibited. Prohibited conduct includes, but is not limited to, obtaining or registering for a parking permit for which an individual is not eligible; transferring, lending, sharing, or selling a parking permit or pass to another person; altering, reproducing, counterfeiting, or otherwise modifying any parking permit or pass; providing false or misleading information during the registration process; or failing to maintain accurate vehicle registration information, including the display of a registered license plate.

Violations may result in the revocation or suspension of parking and driving privileges, citation, vehicle immobilization or impoundment, disciplinary action under applicable University policies, and any other administrative action deemed necessary by the University.

Parking permits are issued based on an individual's affiliation with the University and may be used only by individuals who are eligible for that permit classification. An individual's eligibility is determined by their status with the University—not by vehicle ownership or the registered permit holder. For example, a student is not eligible to obtain or use a Faculty or Staff parking permit, even if the student's parent, spouse, or another family member is a University employee or the vehicle is registered to an employee. Similarly, a student operating a vehicle registered to a Faculty or Staff permit holder must obtain the appropriate student parking permit and comply with all parking regulations applicable to students. These restrictions apply equally to all individuals, including spouses, dependents, family members, visitors, and any other person operating a vehicle on University property.

2.7 REGISTRATION EXPIRATION

Vehicle registrations must be renewed annually during the University's designated registration period, which occurs each August. Parking permits expire on the date indicated on the permit. Vehicles displaying an expired permit or operating on University property without a current, valid registration are subject to citation and any other applicable enforcement action.

2.8 TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP

When ownership of a registered vehicle is transferred to another member of the Pepperdine University community, the vehicle registration must be updated promptly through the University's vehicle registration system to reflect the new owner. Until the registration has been updated, the individual listed as the registered owner in the University's vehicle registration records will remain responsible for all parking citations, fees, and other enforcement actions associated with the vehicle.

Section 3 – GENERAL PARKING AND TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

3.1 GENERAL PARKING GUIDELINES

• Lack of knowledge or awareness of University parking or traffic regulations;
• The time of day, including late-night or early-morning hours, contributed to the parking violation;
• The vehicle was parked in an unauthorized location for only a brief period of time;
• A lack of available parking in a preferred or nearby location;
• Inclement weather;
• Personal convenience or extenuating circumstances, including, but not limited to, illness, assisting another person, appointments, examinations, work or academic deadlines, or transporting large or heavy items;
• Failure to properly display a Temporary, Visitor, Carpool, or other parking permit or pass, including failure to complete required information or display the permit in the prescribed manner;
• The registered owner or driver did not see or receive the citation;
• Other vehicles committing the same or a similar violation were not cited, or the appellant was not previously cited for a similar violation;
• The registered owner no longer owns or possesses the vehicle; or
• The vehicle was being operated by another individual at the time the citation was issued.

Examples of appropriate grounds for appeal include evidence that the citation was issued in error, the vehicle or permit was misidentified, the violation did not occur, or other information demonstrating that the citation should not have been issued.

5.3 VEHICLE IMMOBILIZATION

The Department of Public Safety may immobilize a vehicle by affixing a wheel-locking device ("boot") when necessary to enforce these Parking and Traffic Regulations or to protect the safety and security of the University community. Vehicle immobilization may occur for reasons including, but not limited to:

• The identity of the vehicle owner or responsible party cannot be determined;
• The vehicle is parked or operated in violation of these Parking and Traffic Regulations;
• The vehicle is not properly registered with the University or displays an expired, invalid, altered, or unauthorized parking permit;
• The vehicle has accumulated three (3) or more outstanding parking citations;
• The vehicle presents a safety hazard or interferes with University operations; or
• Any other circumstance determined by the Director of Public Safety or their designee to warrant immobilization.

Before an immobilization device will be removed, the registered owner, as reflected in the University's parking registration system, must satisfy all conditions established by the Department of Public Safety. Such conditions may include payment of all outstanding citations, fines, and immobilization fees; completion of a vehicle release form; verification of ownership or operator identity; registration of the vehicle with the University, if required; and correction of any violation that resulted in the immobilization.

Vehicles that remain immobilized for more than three (3) calendar days may be cited, relocated, or impounded at the owner's expense, in addition to any other applicable enforcement action.

5.4 VEHICLE RELOCATION AND IMPOUNDMENT

The Department of Public Safety may relocate a vehicle to another location on University property when necessary to protect public safety, maintain campus operations, or enforce these Parking and Traffic Regulations. A vehicle may be relocated for reasons including, but not limited to, the following:

• The vehicle creates a safety hazard;
• The vehicle is causing damage to University property;
• The vehicle blocks or impedes traffic flow, access to a roadway, fire hydrant, fire lane (including Residential Road ("Res Road")), accessible route or ramp, building entrance, driveway, or other access point;
• The vehicle is disabled, severely damaged, or otherwise inoperable;
• The vehicle is parked in an electric vehicle charging space without actively charging or is not an electric vehicle;
• The vehicle is parked in a space reserved for visitors, special events, or other restricted purposes without authorization; or
• Any other circumstance determined by the Director of Public Safety or their designee to warrant relocation.

A vehicle relocation fee may be assessed in addition to any applicable citations, fines, or other enforcement actions.

The Department of Public Safety may impound a vehicle whenever relocation is insufficient or when impoundment is otherwise authorized by these Parking and Traffic Regulations. Vehicles may be impounded for any circumstance that authorizes immobilization or relocation under these regulations, including, but not limited to:

• A vehicle abandoned or left unmoved on University property for three (3) consecutive calendar days without authorization;
• A vehicle with five (5) or more outstanding parking citations;
• A vehicle that remains immobilized for more than three (3) calendar days; or
• Any other circumstance in which impoundment is determined by the Director of Public Safety or their designee to be necessary to protect the safety, security, or operational needs of the University.

All towing, storage, impound, relocation, and associated administrative fees, together with any outstanding citations or fines, are the responsibility of the registered owner, as reflected in the University's parking registration system, unless otherwise determined by the Department of Public Safety.

5.5 CONSEQUENCES FOR MULTIPLE OR SERIOUS OFFENSES

The Department of Public Safety may suspend, revoke, or otherwise restrict an individual's driving and parking privileges on University property for repeated, serious, or egregious violations of these Parking and Traffic Regulations. The Department may also deny or condition the issuance or renewal of vehicle registration, parking permits, or parking privileges based on an individual's violation history.

In determining the appropriate administrative action, the Department of Public Safety may consider the nature and severity of the violation(s), the frequency of prior violations, the individual's compliance with these regulations, and any other relevant circumstances.

Violations of these Parking and Traffic Regulations may also result in disciplinary action under applicable University policies. As appropriate, matters may be referred to Human Resources, the Office of Community Standards, or other appropriate University offices for review and action. These administrative consequences are in addition to any citations, fines, relocation, immobilization, or impoundment authorized under these regulations.

If any provision of these Parking and Traffic Regulations, or the application of any provision to any person or circumstance, is determined by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions or their application to other persons or circumstances. The remaining provisions of these Parking and Traffic Regulations shall remain in full force and effect.
