Bike Racks

WIU-Quad Cities buildings have bike racks available for students, faculty, and staff. The bike rack at Riverfront Hall is located on the south side of the building and between Buildings A and B. We recommend you secure your bike while on campus by using a bike lock.

MOTORCYCLES PERMITS -- Motorcycles and mopeds are permitted to park in designated motorcycle parking and meters. This is a 24-hour restriction. Individuals who register a primary vehicle and obtain a permit, may register one motorcycle to the permit at no cost. Individuals who use a motorcycle as a primary vehicle only, will be required to pay the current motorcycle registration fee to obtain a permit.

HANDICAPPED SPACES -- are reserved for state authorized handicapped vehicles that display a state handicapped license plate or permit. Students and faculty/staff are required to obtain a current annual permit. Violators are subject to ticketing and having the vehicle towed at the owner’s expense.

APPEALS -- may be submitted within seven calendar days from the date of the ticket. Appeals can be sent to qcstudentaffairs@wiu.edu . If an appeal is denied, a second written appeal may be submitted within ten calendar days from the review date.

PARKING SPACES -- are identified by white lines. All other areas are considered no parking zones. The fact that other vehicles are parked improperly shall not constitute a valid reason for parking with any part of the vehicle on or over the line, in a “no parking” zone, on the grass, etc.

You have seven (7) days to appeal, void, or have a violation reduced. No adjustments will be made after seven days. Students with 10 or more tickets will be referred to Student Judicial Programs for appropriate action.
