The purpose of the Lafayette College Motor Vehicle and Traffic Regulations are to assure:
The operation of motor vehicles on campus roadways and the registering of motor vehicles for the purpose of obtaining parking permits to park in College-controlled parking lots, are to be considered privileges and not rights of individuals. Lafayette College reserves the right to deny or revoke such privileges at any time to any and all persons who fail to adhere to these regulations.
Anyone, including employees, contractor or students who have possession of a motor vehicle while attending classes or working at Lafayette must register that vehicle on-line with Public Safety within 24 business hours after arrival on campus regardless of where it will be parked. Students possession of a motor vehicle is interpreted as extending from the time the student arrives in the Easton area for the purpose of assuming student status until he or she legally becomes the responsibility of his or her parents or guardian after leaving the campus.
