				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 persons
				utilizing the lands and streets owned or controlled by the University of
				Arkansas. UA Traffic and Parking Regulations are revised periodically. The most
				current regulations are available herefoarking-and-traffic-regulations. php) on
				the Transit and Parking website.
1.
Introduction
These regulations become effective July 1,2015 and are in
				effect at all times. Any vehicle operated or parked on UA owned or controlled
				property in violation of Arkansas motor vehicle statutes or these UA
				regulations is subject to being cited, booted and/or towed.
Any motor vehicle parked on UA owned or controlled property
				must either properly display a current UA 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 person to whom they
				are registered. Bicycles parked on campus must display a UA bicycle permit.
				Parking Regulations are enforced at all times, even when classes are not in
				session.
Short-term parking meters (gold meters) are placed throughout
				campus for loading, unloading, and quick stops at campus buildings. These
				meters have a 30 minute time limit and require payment at all times. Vehicles
				parked at these meters can be cited every 30 minutes if the meter is expired.
				Campus loading zones are only for marked commercial vehicles and those with a
				valid UA loading zone permit.
UA parking permits or parking meter payments are required for
				parking in Extended Time lots and garages from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through
				Friday. These include lots 2, 6, 9, 10, 14, 14A, 14B, 14C, 15,15A, 18,19,
				20,26,28,29,31,31N, 32, 33, 33A, 35, 35N, 36, 36A, 36B, 37,38, 38A, 50, 66, 71,
				and 75, the Stadium Drive and Garland Avenue Garages, and any other lots
				designated as requiring a permit until 8 p.m. These lots are reserved for any
				vehicle displaying a current UA parking permit between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Monday
				through Friday, during the fall and spring semesters. Motorcycles and scooters
				may not park in car spaces.
UA parking lots 4,5,7,8 and 61 are reserved for any Reserved or
				Faculty/staff permit holder from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday,
				during the fall and spring semesters. The Reserved section of lot 50, west of
				Brough Commons, is reserved from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. for "J" Reserved permit
				holders only.
UA parking permits or parking meter payments are required for
				parking in all other campus streets, lots and in the Meadow Street Garage from
				7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and at all times in 24 hour reserved
				spaces, garages, lots and the Duncan Avenue parking meters. The responsibility
				for locating a legal parking space rests with the motor vehicle operator.
Cashless payment options are available for parking. The
				Parkmobtle system allows parking meter payment using your cellphone. More
				information is available on the Transit and Parking website under Parkmobile
				(
http://us.parkmobile.com/
)
.
				Contact Transit and Parking if you have questions about or wish to purchase
				this parking payment option. Razorbucks may be used in the Stadium Drive,
				Garland Avenue and Meadow Street garages for hourly parking payment.
Visitors may purchase a garage permit that allows parking in
				the metered section of the designated garage Monday through Friday. Meter
				payment in the Stadium Drive and Garland Avenue garages is required from 7 a.m.
				to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday and in the Meadow Street Garage from 7 a.m. to
				5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Hourly payment is required in the Harmon Avenue
				Garage between 7 a.m. and 1 a.m., Monday through Thursday and 7 a.m. and 10:15
				p.m. on Friday. The Stadium Drive and Meadow Street Garages will be used by the
				Athletics Department for all home football games and therefore, must be cleared
				by midnight before each home game. The Meadow Street Garage will be used for
				all home men's basketball games so it must be cleared two hours prior to the
				game.
The Harmon Avenue Garage is a gated facility with entry and
				exit controlled by an access card. Hourly parking is also available with pay
				stations located on levels 1 and 6. Payment can be made by cash, coin, credit
				card, debit card, or parking may be validated by some departments. Permit
				holders may not allow other vehicles to enter or exit the garage using their
				access card. Doing so will result in the revocation of the access card and
				garage parking privileges without a refund. The owner/driver of any vehicle
				exiting the garage without paying will be cited for failure to remit the garage
				parking fee, a $100 violation fee, and referred to the Office of Student
				Standards and Conduct. Persons not affiliated with the UA may be referred to
				the city prosecutor for theft of services.
The UA 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.

				loops or racks within the immediate area.
Bicycles parked in a manner that obstruct ADA access, block
				pedestrian paths, create a safety hazard, or are secured to trees and
				landscaping, sign posts, parking meter posts, or painted light poles will be
				immobilized or impounded. Bicycle security devices may be removed by whatever
				means necessary to impound the bicycle. The university will not be liable to
				the owner of this device for the cost of repair or replacement. Bicycles may
				not be parked, stored, or left standing in the lobby, hallway, or room of any
				academic or administrative building except within private offices with the
				approval from the department head or building executive. Policies and
				procedures governing the storage of bicycles inside any facility owned,
				operated or managed by University Housing, may be found in the current

Designation and Use of Parking
			 Areas
Designation of UA 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
current parking map (. . /. . /parkmap.pdf).
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 UA campus are as follows:
Reserved - Parking for assigned Reserved and All Area permit
				holders only. Each lot is designated by matching permit and lot sign letter.
				All Area permits are not authorized to park in Reserved CC in lot 26, east of
				the Administration Building, or in Resident Reserved lots. All Area permit
				holders shall park in their assigned home lot when working in their normal
				building.
Faculty/staff - Parking for Faculty/Staff, Emeritus and
				Reserved 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. All Area permits are not authorized to park in Resident
				Reserved lots.
Student - Parking for Reserved, Faculty/Staff, Resident
				Reserved, Emeritus and Student permit holders.
Remote- Parking for Reserved, Faculty/Staff, Resident Reserved,
				Student, Emeritus and Remote permit holders.
Bike Loops/Racks - Parking for bicycle permit holders only.
Parking Meters - Parking for anyone paying the meter. Parking
				at an inoperable meter is prohibited. Vehicles parked at expired meters can be
				cited once before noon and once after noon.
Short-term Parking Meters -These meters are in gold colored
				housings and require payment at all times. They provide 30 minute parking for
				brief stops at campus buildings. Violators parked at these meters can be cited
				every 30 minutes.
Motorcycle - Parking for motorcycles only (50cc and over engine
				displacement). Motorcycles may also park in unoccupied parking meter spaces by
				paying the meter fee. Motorcycles may not park in Faculty/Staff, Student or
				Remote parking spaces or in the Harmon Avenue Garage. Reserved permit holders
				who also purchase a Motorcycle permit or an approved permit display device may
				park in their reserved lot in place of their primary vehicle. Faculty/staff and
				Student permit holders may purchase an approved permit display device to
				display their Faculty/staff or Student permit on their motorcycle and park it
				in motorcycle parking. This eliminates the need to purchase an additional
				motorcycle permit
Scooter Parking- Scooters (two wheeled motorized vehicles under
				50cc) parked on campus must display a current UA scooter permit and may park
				only in designated scooter parking areas. According to Arkansas Law, scooters
				may not be ridden on the sidewalk. The scooter permit does not authorize
				parking in UA motorcycle or car parking spaces. Fayetteville City Ordinance
				requires scooter riders to have scooter insurance.
Scooter Reserved - Reserved scooter parking is for assigned
				Reserved Scooter permits only from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through
				Friday.
8.
Accessible Parking
Annual ADA parking permits will be issued at the normal cost to
				any student or employee who has a state ADA parking placard or license plate
				issued in their name. Temporary ADA parking permits will be issued for the same
				length of time as the state temporary placard or for a maximum of seven (7)
				days based on an appropriate and licensed physician's statement recommending a
				temporary ADA permit. The appropriate permit type, with the addition of an ADA
				logo, will be issued for the standard fee. The ADA logo will not be issued on a
				Remote permit. The ADA permit allows parking in lots designated as
				Faculty/Staff, Student and Remote. Meter payment is required when parking at a
				parking meter. Campus visitors who have a state issued ADA placard or vehicle
				license may park in an ADA parking space by displaying a current UA temporary
				parking permit along with their ADA placard or vehicle license. The UA permit
				must be visible from outside the vehicle through the windshield.
