BLUE Placard: Permanent disability. Expires every 4-years. Pay regular parking rate.
RED Placard: Temporary disability. Valid for one-to-six months. Pay regular parking rate.
GREEN Placard: Issued to organizations. Pay regular parking rate.
YELLOW Sticker: Free Parking. Must have State-issued placard. Must have a valid Michigan driver’s license and be unable to do one or more of the following:
• Insert coins or tokens in a parking meter or accept a ticket from a parking lot machine due to a lack of fine motor control of both hands.
• Reach above your head to a height of 42 inches from the ground, due to lack of finger, hand or upper extremity strength or mobility.
• Approach a parking meter due to the use of a wheelchair or other ambulatory device.
• Walk more than 20 feet due to an orthopedic, cardiovascular or lung condition in which the degree of debilitation is so severe that it almost completely impedes your ability to walk.
Your medical professional must certify in part 3 of the application that you meet the requirements for free parking. The person to whom the placard or license plate was issued must be present when the vehicle enters and exists. Please note, privately owned parking lots and garages are not required to provide free parking.
