Parking Access Revenue Control System (PARCS) Upgrades

Transportation and Parking is upgrading the gate equipment and visitor access system for gated parking areas across campus. The first phase of the PARCS upgrade is scheduled to begin Wednesday, Feb. 1, with an estimated completion date of July 25. The PARCS upgrade work includes the demolition of curbs and the reconfiguration of entrance and exit lanes. Parking areas will remain accessible throughout the project. Drivers and pedestrians should remain alert to changes in traffic patterns and construction activities in these areas.
