Why this changeÌý
While most campus lots already require a permit or payment at all times and are monitored 24/7, a small number of lots are unmonitored at night, resulting in increased safety concerns. Patrols through lots that were previously not monitored at night will increase visibility and safety for lot users,Ìýmost of whom start or end their shifts when a permit or payment is required and are already paying for parking.ÌýÌý
Minimizing impactsÌý
Updated signage in all impacted lots will be posted in the weeks to come. Those utilizing the Main Campus lots from 10 p.m. to 7:30am and/or the East Campus lots from 7 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. will be required to purchase permits or utilize short term payment options beginning Aug. 1, 2026.Ìý
