WVU Implements License Plate Recognition for Parking: Update Your Details by September 1st!
Morgantown, WV – West Virginia University (WVU) is upgrading its parking management system with the implementation of a new license plate recognition (LPR) technology. This advanced system will automatically verify license plates for parking permissions, streamlining the process for both drivers and university staff. To ensure a smooth transition and avoid parking citations, all drivers who regularly park in WVU parking lots are required to update their license plate information in the WVU Parking Portal by September 1st.
What's Changing?
Previously, WVU relied on physical permits displayed on vehicles. The new LPR system uses cameras strategically placed throughout parking lots to capture license plate images. These images are then compared against a database of authorized vehicles registered within the WVU Parking Portal. This technology offers several advantages, including increased security, reduced permit printing costs, and a more efficient parking management process.
Why Update Your License Plate Information?
Updating your license plate information is crucial to avoid unnecessary parking tickets. The system will automatically flag vehicles whose license plates aren't registered in the portal. This ensures that only authorized vehicles are permitted to park in designated areas. The deadline for updating is September 1st, so don't delay!
How to Update Your Information:
- Visit the WVU Parking Portal: https://parking.wvu.edu/
- Log in to your account. If you don't have an account, you'll need to create one.
- Navigate to the 'Vehicle Information' section.
- Add or update your vehicle's license plate number.
- Save your changes.
Benefits of the New System:
- Enhanced Security: LPR technology helps deter theft and unauthorized vehicle access.
- Improved Efficiency: Automated verification reduces the need for manual enforcement.
