AVI parking tags

Learn how to use an Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) parking tag to access garages and lots, including installation, placement, and replacement.

How AVI tags work

Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) tags are used to identify vehicles passing through the Hospital Garage, College Town Garage, and/or surface lots as registered vehicles. Access to controlled areas for employees is obtained through pre-programmed devices called AVI tags, which are placed on vehicle windshields. Communication between the tag and the gates in the lot and garages is automatic.

Installation instructions

The best location for the tag is either next to the rear-view mirror or on the lower-left or upper-left corner of the windshield, out of the driver’s line of sight.
