Parking changes intended to provide improved service
Posted September 11, 2006; 04:49 p.m.
The University has made several changes in its parking regulations that will be effective Sept. 15.
The changes are intended to provide improved and consistent service to members of the University community.
They are:
• New pre-printed parking passes for one-day visitors are available to department administrators.
Department administrators may now request up to 20 visitor passes at
one time from the TigerCard/parking office. Departments will no longer
have to wait until a visitor requests a pass, giving the department
much greater flexibility. When a visitor is expected, the department
administrator simply must complete the pre-printed pass by writing in
the date and giving it to the visitor to be placed on the left corner
of the dash. Departments may even wish to mail passes in advance of the
visit with instructions on where to park. The lot assignment for the
visitor is the same as the lot assignment for the occupants of the
building. The request form for passes is available online.
• New pre-printed parking passes for short-term overnight guests are available to occupants of University-owned housing.
Residents may request up to five passes at one time in advance of
having an overnight guest. The pass must be completed with the date
once the guest arrives and placed on the left corner of the dash.
Passes are required in the housing parking lots from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m.
When the TigerCard/parking office is closed, pre-printed passes will be
available from booth officers on Elm Drive. There are visitor areas at
the Graduate College and at Lawrence Apartments where parking is
allowed without a pass for up to 48 hours. Longer-term visitors should
go to the TigerCard/parking office on the A floor of New South to
register their vehicles.
• Overnight parking is permitted. Previously prohibited, parking
between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. is now allowed for faculty, staff and
graduate students in all campus lots (except lots 8, 9 and 18) with a
valid University parking permit; undergraduates must park overnight in
lot 23. Vehicles should not be left for an extended period and should
not be parked overnight when snow is predicted.
Members of the University community are reminded that there are
penalties for parking violations on campus. During each academic year,
a driver can receive one warning. A second violation will result in a
citation for $20 if paid in the first 10 days or $30 if paid after 10
days. After three citations, the fine is raised to $50 for each
additional ticket until the end of the year on June 30.
Campus drivers also are reminded to use "Authorized Vehicle" cards for
special short-term parking circumstances. Department administrators may
request AV cards from the TigerCard/parking office to be shared among
their employees. Notes on dashboards are not recognized as permits.
University parking regulations are available online. Those who have questions or need more information may contact the TigerCard/parking office by phone at (609) 258-3157 or by e-mail.
