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.

Phase One
The following parking lots will be upgraded during phase one of the PARCS project. Project dates are projected and subject to change.

Location | Project Dates |
---|---|
Rams Head Deck | Feb. 20 – April 6 May 12 – July 12 |
Bell Tower Deck | Feb. 23 – April 27 |
Craige Deck | March 20 – June 21 |

The PARCS upgrade will provide a modernized system that will allow for automated reservation and pay options. Employees with parking permits will continue to use their UNC One Card for lot access.
