Parking and Traffic Regulations
Administration and Policy, effective July 1,
				2005.
In accordance with Act 328 of 1967, Acts of Arkansas, the Board
				of Trustees of the University of Arkansas has established the following
				regulations to facilitate the operation and parking of motor vehicles on the
				University of Arkansas campus. These regulations apply to all members of the
				faculty, staff, student body and all other persons utilizing the lands and
				streets owned or controlled by the University of Arkansas.
1.
Introduction
These regulations become effective July 1, 2005 and are in
				effect at all times. Any vehicle operated or parked on University of Arkansas
				owned or controlled property in violation of Arkansas motor vehicle statutes or
				these University of Arkansas regulations is subject to being cited and towed.
Any motor vehicle parked on University of Arkansas owned or
				controlled property must either properly display a current University of
				Arkansas parking permit or park at a parking meter and pay the posted meter
				fee. Permits are valid only in authorized lots or zones designated by map or
				posted signs and only for the vehicle or person to whom they are registered.
Permits are not required at metered spaces; however, parking
				meter payment is required.
Short-term parking meters (gold meters) are placed throughout
				campus for the purpose of loading and unloading and quick stops at campus
				buildings. These meters have a time limit of 20 minutes. Campus loading zones
				are only for marked commercial vehicles and those with UA loading zone permits.
University of Arkansas parking permits or parking meter
				payments are required for parking on campus streets, lots and in the Garland
				Avenue Parking Facility from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, from 7
				a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday in designated night reserved lots; and
				at all times in 24 hour reserved spaces, garages, and lots. The responsibility
				for locating a legal parking space rests with the motor vehicle operator.
Cash-less payment options are also available for campus parking
				meters and garage parking eliminating the need to carry change for campus
				parking. Contact Transit and Parking if you have questions about or wish to
				purchase any of these parking payment options.
Faculty, staff, students and visitors may purchase a Garland
				Avenue Parking Facility Reserved permit that allows parking in the reserved
				section of the parking garage from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
				Meter payment in the garage is required from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through
				Friday. The facility will be used by the Athletic Department for all home
				football games and therefore, must be cleared by midnight before each home
				game.
The Harmon Avenue Parking Facility (HAPF) is a gated facility
				with entry and exit controlled by a proximity (access) card. Temporary and
				hourly parking is also available with pay stations located on levels 1 and 6.
				Payment can be made by cash, coin, credit cards, debit cards, Razorbucks or
				parking may be validated by some departments.
The University of Arkansas assumes no responsibility for loss
				of or damage to private property. Therefore, all unattended vehicles parked on
				campus should be locked.
Parking lot designation signs are color coded and labeled with
				the lot type. Lot designation signs are located at the parking lot entrances
				and within the lots when necessary. Signs designating spaces within a lot are
				placed at each end of the section of spaces they designate and regulate all
				spaces between the signs.

				sold to individuals based upon application, to be renewed annually. Priority

When a vacancy occurs, current applications will be reviewed
				and applicants will be assigned to a lot based on date of application, rank and
				seniority. New All Area and 24 Hour Reserved permit applicants need to submit
				written justification by June 20 for either type of permit, which will be
				reviewed by the Transit, Parking and Traffic Committee Chairperson and

Substitute Motor Vehicle
			 Registration
Your parking permit is designed to be moved to your replacement
				vehicle. You will need to register each vehicle that will display your permit
				with the Transit and Parking Department.
4.
Visitor Parking
Visitors are persons other than University of Arkansas
				students, staff or faculty members. Campus visitors, with a temporary visitor
				parking permit, may park in regular metered spaces without paying the meter fee
				(short-term and garage metered spaces excluded) and in parking lots designated
				as Faculty/Staff, Student or Remote. Meter fee payment is required at
				short-term meters (gold housings) at all times. Garland Avenue Parking Facility
				visitors with a temporary Garland Avenue Parking Facility visitor permit may
				park at GAPF meters and at regular metered spaces without paying the meter fee.
				Garland Avenue Parking Facility temporary permits also authorize parking in
				lots designated as Faculty/Staff, Student and Remote. Campus visitors without a
				current permit should park at a parking meter and pay the posted meter fee.
				Visitors and vendors may obtain a temporary or annual visitor parking permit
				from the Transit and Parking Department. University of Arkansas units or
				individuals receiving visitors are expected to promptly contact the Transit and
				Parking Department (575-PARK) to make parking arrangements. Your cooperation
				will help prevent a campus visitor's vehicle being cited and towed. Visitors
				may not be logged-in by telephone unless the requesting department has a
				reserved or signed visitor's space. University of Arkansas units may purchase
				daily visitor parking permits or access cards from the Transit and Parking
				Department and issue them only to visitors. Please call 575-4666 for
				information.
5.
Responsibilities of Parking Permit Holders
Each parking permit holder is responsible for safeguarding
				his/her permit, proper permit display on his/her vehicle and for any parking
				violation charges issued to that permit. Permits must be completely affixed by
				the manufacturer's adhesive and displayed on the inside of the front
				windshield, lower left corner, on the driver's side. Temporary hangtag permits
				must be displayed on the inside mirror support and be visible through the
				windshield from outside the vehicle. Permits may not be reproduced, altered,
				defaced, bartered or sold to another individual. Permits are to be removed
				prior to sale or transfer of a vehicle, or upon termination of UA employment or
				enrollment.
A lost or stolen permit may be replaced for $5. Any vehicle
				displaying a lost or stolen permit will be towed and impounded, and the
				driver/owner will be required to pay all tow and storage fees, a $100
				administrative charge, and his/her campus parking privileges will be suspended
				for one year.

Designation and
			 Use of Parking Areas
Designation of University of Arkansas numbered parking lots and
				specific parking spaces is the responsibility of the Transit, Parking and
				Traffic Committee and the Transit and Parking Department. Parking lot
				designations are indicated by permit color on the parking map included in these
				regulations, and on-site by colored signs. Sign and stall markings are
				considered to be correct and take precedence over conflicting parking map
				designations. Any area not specifically designated for parking is considered a
				No Parking zone, which may not be posted. Your permit type and parking lot
				signs designating where you may park on the University of Arkansas campus are
				as follows:
Garages: Parking for assigned Reserved and All Area permit
				holders. Hourly parking also available.
Garland Avenue Parking Facility Reserved: Parking for assigned
				Reserved and All Area permit holders only. Metered parking is also available.
Reserved Faculty/Staff: Parking for assigned Reserved and All
				Area permit holders only. Each lot is designated by matching permit and lot
				sign letter.
Faculty/staff Parking for Faculty/Staff, Emeritus, Reserved and
				All Area permit holders.
Resident Reserved: Parking for assigned resident student
				reserved permit holders only. Each zone is designated by matching permit and
				lot sign zone number.
Student: Parking for Reserved, Faculty/Staff, Resident
				Reserved, Student and All Area permit holders.
Remote: Parking for Reserved, Faculty/Staff, Resident Reserved,
				Student, Remote and All Area permit holders.
Parking Meters: Parking for anyone paying the meter. Parking at
				an inoperable meter is prohibited.
Short-term Parking Meters: These meters are in gold colored
				housings and require payment at all times. They provide 20 minute parking for
				brief stops at campus buildings. Violators parked at these meters can be cited
				every 20 minutes.
Motorcycle: Parking for motorcycles only. Motorcycles may also
				park in unoccupied parking meter spaces by paying the meter fee. Motorcycles
				may not park in Reserved, Faculty/Staff, Student, Remote or Harmon Avenue
				Parking Facilityparking spaces.
Scooter Parking: Scooters (two wheeled motorized vehicles under
				50 cc) parked on campus must display a current University of Arkansas scooter
				permit and may park at bicycle racks within 50 feet or a road or street.
				According to Arkansas Law, scooters my not be ridden on the sidewalk. If you
				are parking your scooter at a bicycle rack, it must be pushed on the sidewalk
				to the rack. The scooter permit does not authorize parking in University of
				Arkansas motorcycle or car parking spaces. The purpose of registering the
				scooter is to allow the Transit and Parking Department or University Police
				Department to contact the owner in case the scooter must be moved.
Reserved lots 2, 4, 8 and 61 are reserved for Faculty/staff
				Reserved and Faculty/staff permit holders from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through
				Thursday, during the fall and spring semesters.
During summer school only, all current permits may park in
				Resident Reserved, Student and Remote parking lots except in the Garland Avenue
				Parking Facility and Carlson Terrace Resident Reserved lots, which are reserved
				at all times for residents only.
8.
Accessible Parking
Annual handicap parking permits will be issued at the normal
				cost to any student or employee who has a state handicap parking placard or
				license plate issued in their name. Temporary handicap parking permits will be
				issued for the same length of time as the state temporary placard or for a
				maximum of 90 days based on an appropriate and licensed physician's statement
				recommending a temporary handicap permit. The appropriate permit type, with the
				addition of a handicap logo, will be issued for the standard fee. The handicap
				permit allows parking in lots designated as Faculty/Staff, Student, Remote, and
				in University of Arkansas regular parking meters without paying the meter fee;
				short-term and Garland Avenue Parking Facility meters excluded. Meter payment
				is required in the accessible parking spaces in the Garland Avenue Parking
				Facility unless a Garland Avenue Parking Facility Reserved handicap permit is
				displayed.
9.

				special campus event requiring campus parking for visitors are responsible for
				requesting parking arrangements at least five days before the event. University
				of Arkansas Policy 302. 1 covers the parking requirements for special events.

			 special campus events must be coordinated with, and will be controlled by, the
			 Transit and Parking Department, 575-PARK.
