Campus police are issuing new white and yellow S-2 parking stickers to student drivers this year and expect about 2,900 cars and drivers to be registered by this time next week.

All drivers, including faculty and staff, are expected to register their cars with campus police at the desk in Room L2.

Drivers whose cars were registered at Foothill in previous years are cautioned to remove the Foothill stickers and follow a new procedure. The De Anza parking permits should be mounted on the left corner of the rear bumper, not on the windshield or rear window as was formerly the practice.

De Anza faculty, staff and student cars displaying this permit will be allowed to park in designated areas on both the De Anza and Foothill campuses, according to Joe T. Silva, supervisor of campus police.

Silva said drivers who ave complained that the stickers fade or don’t stay on should clean dirt and grease off the bumpers, apply the decal, then spray it with silicone spray.

Silva offered another tip to De Anza drivers: don’t expect campus police to provide emergency aid or repairs if a car won’t start.

“Because of insurance rules and requirements, campus police are forbidden to push or tow cars, change flats or charge batteries,” Silva said.

“However, we will help stranded drivers by using the walkie-talkie to place phone calls through our office phone,” he said. “That way, the driver can contact his home, a towing service or a service station. But we simply can’t do any more than that.”
