Since 2009, all faculty, staff, and students in need, and even school guests, can apply for the use of the “Caring parking-card”. A vehicle with a “Caring parking-card” can park in barrier-free parking spaces (the card must be placed visibly on the windshield of the vehicle), as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. A total of 16 applications were received in 2022, an increase of 3 applications (30%) from 13 in 2021.
