The problem of parking in downtown New Haven is acute, and Yale is committed to active cooperation in its solution. For this reason the University hopes that students will not bring cars to New Haven. Not only is parking on city streets restricted to one hour and overnight parking prohibited, but the limited number of parking spaces in the inner city must be used for serving nearby businesses and cannot be employed for long-term student parking. For those students who find a car to be a necessity, parking is provided by the University in the Pierson-Sage parking garage at Whitney Avenue and Edwards Street. The garage is staffed by security personnel and is equipped with emergency telephones and other security features.
Regulations governing student vehicles follow.
The Yale Shuttle Bus makes regular stops at the garage. B. Insurance Vehicle insurance must be in effect for at least the minimum requirements of the State of Connecticut. Occasionally other lots, when so posted, may not be available. A student's car illegally parked on a University lot during working hours, or a car parked at any time on a lot that is not available for student parking, may be towed at the owner's expense. A towed vehicle may be located by contacting the Yale Parking Service at 155 Whitney Avenue during working hours and the Yale University Police Headquarters at Phelps Gate at other times.
