The University of Houston honors and thanks all disabled veterans for their service. As a show of support, all disabled veterans displaying the Disabled Veteran (DV) license plates issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles are allowed to park on campus at no charge. An explanation of who can park where is as follows:

Visitors

Without ADA Credentials

Individuals displaying the disabled veteran license plates issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles are exempt from the payment of fees in the pay by phone/text to pay virtual meter spaces on campus, but should not park in any of the ADA spaces within these metered areas if they do not have a county-issued International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) disabled hangtag or the ISA symbol on their license plate.
