In 2008, the Oregon legislature created a new type of disabled parking space and parking permit for people who use wheelchairs or mobility scooters. This designation is different than the standard disabled parking space and parking permit.
Eugene is beginning to see these newly marked parking spaces, which, according to this rule, contain a sign that states “Wheelchair User Only.” In order to park in one of these spaces, vehicles will be required to have the specified “Wheelchair User” DMV-issued disabled parking permit.
