Parking Permit Alert: Make the Switch, Please

January 13, 2017

parking-ticket-dt-copy-copy In October 2015, in an effort to provide a more flexible parking option for faculty and staff who must negotiate the potential for bringing different cars to campus from day to day, the Public Safety Department instituted a new style for parking permits. Currently, general faculty/staff parking is now a hangtag rather than a sticker. If you have not previously received notice about this change or simply have not made it in to change out your parking permit, please stop by at your earliest convenience. The older red and green stickers are no longer valid and may result in a citation.

New Parking Permits Required Starting Sept. 21

September 21, 2015

In an effort to provide a more flexible parking option for students, faculty, and staff who must negotiate the potential for bringing different cars to campus from day to day, the public safety department will now be issuing hang-tag permits to all students and any staff or faculty who do not qualify for an “A” Permit or Waldschmidt parking.

Each UP office or department has been instructed to provide faculty and staff with this form. All faculty and staff who do not have the new hang-tag permit must fill out the form (and include a mail stop code) and then send it to public safety through campus mail. The new permit will be sent through campus mail or held for pick-up, if requested. Public safety hopes to complete issuing new permits by Saturday, September 19, and will issue warnings to staff and faculty who have not completed the process starting Monday, September 21. Older sticker permits will expire after the transition period and may result in a citation.

For more information contact Michael McNerney, public safety, at 7161 or renn@up.edu.
