Service and Operational Updates Fall 2020

Transportation and Parking is implementing strategies for fall 2020 to optimize parking availability and manage resources.

Virtual Permitting

Transportation and Parking uses virtual permits for parking across campus. Virtual permitting removes the need for physical hang tags, and instead, parking access is assigned and verified through license plate recognition (LPR).

Public Safety Building Access

Construction of the central generator plant began on Apr. 6 in the S1 Public Safety Parking Lot. Visitor parking accessed via Emergency Room Drive.

Contactless Customer Service

Transportation and Parking has implemented measures to provide contactless customer service that incorporates community standards and limits requirements for in-person office visits.

Local Transit

Local transit providers (see agency websites for specific measures) have implemented COVID-19 community standards.
