PARKING PERMITs

Digital Parking Permits Required

Digital parking permits are required for vehicles parked at all Foothill-De Anza Community College District parking lots at Foothill College, De Anza College, and the Sunnyvale campus.

The District uses the iParq digital parking permit system. Your vehicle's license plate serves as your parking permit, so there is no physical permit or decal to display.

Students & Employees

Parking permits are free for currently enrolled students, faculty, and staff.

Students and employees must register their vehicle through the FHDA Permit Store (iParq) using their CWID and password. Do not create a separate iParq account. Your CWID login will automatically link you to your FHDA account, where you can manage your vehicles and parking permits.

Indigent Status Payment Plans (AB503)

It is the policy of FHDA Community College District that the registered owner (CVC 460 & 505) or person responsible for parking citations, who qualify for indigent status, shall be allowed to enroll in a payment plan. This policy is in response to changes made to the California Vehicle Code as a part of Assembly Bill 503 (CA Vehicle Code 40220).

Any citations associated with the vehicle, registered owner, or person responsible may be included in the payment plan at the time of enrollment.
If additional citations are issued while a payment plan is in place, the plan will not be modified to include the new citations, nor will a concurrent payment plan be offered.
Citations in a payment plan will not be used toward immobilization/tow/impound (booting) requirements pursuant to CVC 22651(i)1.

Individuals who meet one or more of the following determinations of indigence will be approved for special processing as required by CVC 40220. Any of the following financial situations meet the requirements for approval:

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and State Supplementary Payment (SSP).
California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids Act (CalWORKs) or a federal Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (Tribal TANF).
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or the California Food Assistance Program (CalFresh).
County Relief, General Relief (GR), or General Assistance (GA).
Cash Assistance Program for Aged, Blind, and Disabled Legal Immigrants (CAPI).
In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS).
Safe firearm handling techniques;
An applicant whose monthly income is 125 percent or less of the current federal poverty guidelines (https://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty-guidelines)

Payment plans must be set-up at the FHDA District Police Department during regular business hours (8:00 AM to 4:00 PM) BY APPOINTMENT ONLY (call 650-949-7313 for appointment). The form to apply for the Indigent Payment Plan can be obtained HERE, or in-person at either the Foothill or De Anza Police Stations.

If an applicant's indigent status is found to have been willfully fraudulent, his or her fines and fee reduction shall be overturned and the full amount of fines and fees shall be restored.

The fee to enroll in the Indigent Payment Plan is five dollars ($5.00). Payment plans will allow the payment of unpaid parking fines and fees to be paid off in monthly installments of no more than twenty-five dollars ($25), for total amounts due that are three hundred dollars ($300) or less. However, unpaid parking fines and fees shall be paid off within 18 months. There shall be no prepayment penalty for paying off the balance prior to expiration of the payment plan period.

An approved payment plan waives all late fees and penalty assessments, exclusive of any state surcharges described in Sections 70372, 76000, and 76000.3 of the Government Code, if an indigent person enrolls in the payment plan. Waived late fees and penalty assessments may be reinstated if the person falls out of compliance with the payment plan.

Applications for indigence determination / payment plans must be received within 60 calendar days from the issuance of the most recent parking violation, or 10 days after the administrative hearing determination, whichever is later. The registered owner or lessee who fails to enroll in the payment plan within the time specified in the notice, or who is not eligible for the payment plan because he or she is not indigent, will not be approved.

When a registered owner or lessee falls out of compliance with the payment plan, a one-time extension of 45 calendar days (from the date the plan becomes delinquent) will be given before the payment plan is canceled and a DMV hold is initiated.

Payments must be made each calendar month.

No invoices or payment reminders will be sent.
Once a payment date is set, there is no grace period for late payments.
Payments cannot be made on-line.
All payments will be due by the 5th day of each month.
For mailed payments, a postmark is acceptable to meet this requirement.

Payments must be mailed to:

Passport Labs, Inc
Attn: John Friedrich
325 Daniel Zenker Drive
Horseheads, NY 14845

This policy shall not affect individual campus procedures for using the Franchise Tax Board, or the student hold process for fee collection.
