Campus Parking 

Policy Statement 

All members of the University community, including students, faculty, staff, and staff of affiliated organizations, vendors, and contractors, are required to display a valid University-issued parking permit on their motor vehicle when parked in campus parking lots during restricted hours. 

Reason for the Policy 

This policy is designed to minimize the number of motor vehicles on campus using the Transportation Demand Management System and to manage the parking inventory through use of core/premium and peripheral parking zones, the campus shuttle system, and alternative transportation options to ensure there are adequate places for people to park when on campus. 

Applicability of the Policy 

This policy applies to any individual who wishes to park a motor vehicle on ¶¶Òõ̽̽ campus during restricted hours. 

Definitions 

Affiliated Staff: Individuals who are employed by organizations that do business at the University, including contractors with office space at the University. 

Core/Premium Parking: Parking that is in close proximity to one's assigned workplace. 

Faculty or Staff: University employees who provide or support the instructional, research, and public service activities of the University. 

Motor Vehicle: "Motor vehicle" shall include all vehicles propelled or drawn by power other than muscular power. In accordance with Vermont State Motor Vehicle Statute, Title 23, these shall include motorcycles, mopeds, and scooters. 

Pay-By-App: A means of parking payment that is paid for through the use of a cellular phone. 

Peripheral Parking: Parking that is on the outer perimeter of the University main campus serviced by the campus shuttle system. 

Restricted Hours: Those hours when lots require valid permits and pay-by-app locations require payment for parking. These hours are posted on signs at the entrance to each lot. 

Students: All persons who are enrolled or pre-registered in academic courses at the University. ¶¶Òõ̽̽ students who simultaneously become associated with the University in any manner as employees or consultants will retain the status of student, as far as campus vehicle registration is concerned, until exempted from this rule by Parking Services. 

Vendors and Contractors: Individuals who work for companies doing business with the University on a contractual basis. For the purpose of this document, these individuals would not have assigned office space at the University (see Affiliated Staff). 

Visitor: Any person who is not registered or pre-registered for classes and is not employed or temporarily employed by or at the University. 

Procedures 

¶¶Òõ̽̽ manages parking on its main campus using a permit system for members of the University community and a visitor system for guests. 

The University reserves the right to determine eligibility to park on campus for all groups or individuals and may restrict certain groups from using campus parking facilities. Visitors have the option of using either a feebased lot designated for visitors or pay-by-app locations on campus. 

All parking on campus is paid during restricted hours. Individuals displaying a valid, state-issued, handicapped parking plate, placard, or hang tag may park at no cost, but members of the University community using handicapped parking must register their motor vehicle with the University. Once on campus, individuals operating or parking a motor vehicle must observe all University parking rules and regulations. 

All additional parking procedures and guidelines are posted online on the Transportation and Parking Services website.
