parking pass

Vehicle access permit

A parking pass is a permit—usually a card, sticker, or hang tag—that authorizes a vehicle to park in a restricted area.

Workplaces, universities, and residential complexes issue them to control access to limited spaces: I forgot my parking pass and got a ticket.

Some are permanent, others temporary or day-use.
