Parking & PIV Authorization Processes

Welcome to St. Louis VA Health Care System.  We are excited that you will be rotating with  St. Louis
Veteran Affairs Medical Center and providing care for our Nation’s Heroes’!

The following process will help you with parking, obtaining parking authorization and facility door access
at the John Cochran VA Medical Center.

DAY 1:  NO PIV CARD or PIV obtained but not given access to gated lots
No  worries!  There  are  several  VA  parking  lots  that  you  can  park  in  that  do  not  require  a  PIV  card
authorization.  You have the following lots available for you to use:
Grandel Lot
Sinclair Lot
Employee Parking in between Enright Ave and Delmar Ave
Employee Parking lot T off of Windsor Place.
(See attached Parking Plan at the end of this packet for guidance/directions)

These parking lots DO NOT require a PIV card to authorize parking.  You can use any of these lots to park
in.

DAY 1:  PIV CARD, but no authorization given to gated lots.
If you have obtained your PIV card prior to your first day on station, you will have to utilize the parking
lots listed above until you  have requested authorization  from the VA police to gain access to the  gated
parking lots.  Please follow the directions below to request authorization for these lots as well as requesting
access to specific door access in the area you will be working in.

You must already have access approved to log onto a VA computer to perform the following actions:

•  Log onto the VA computer
•  On the bottom right corner of your main screen you will see a up arrow, click on that

•  Next you will click on the ActivClient Agent, (it looks like a little lantern)

•  Click on OPEN

•  Double Click on MY PERSONAL INFO, then the ActivID box will appear, enter in your 6-digit

VA computer access PIN.  (This is the same PIN you use to gain access to the computer)

•  Then Click on the PIV CARDHOLDER INFO tab across the top.  The information you will need

to provide the VA police is the AGENCY CARD SERIAL NUMBER.

Once you have you have obtained the AGENCY CARD SERIAL NUMBER, you will need to complete
the PIV DOOR ACCESS Request form.  Just enter in your FULL NAME into the box for HPT’S name and
then enter in the Agency Card Serial Number in the **PIV Badge #: box.  (See PIV DOOR ACCESS form).

This form is completed so the VA police can grant you access to specific doors in the specific department
you will be rotating in as well as all the gated VA parking lots/garages.  Once this form is completed, please
email  the  document  to:  STLDOORACCESS@va.gov.  Typically,  VA  police  process  and  grant  access
within 24 hours and you will received an email from the VA police indicating access has been granted.

Once you have received the email back from the VA Police, you will have access to all parking lots except
for Physician/Parking, LOT F.  Additionally, please DO NOT park in Lots, A, E, L, K or Q.  These are
patient  parking areas and are  not  to be  utilized!  Information  regarding  the  parking  garages  is  included
