Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 6, June, 2024
Transit and Parking Department
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 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 on the Transit and Parking web site at
http://parking.uark.edu/
under
				the Parking Control section.
1.
Introduction
These regulations become effective July 1, 2007 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 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 loading, unloading, and quick stops at campus buildings. These
				meters have a 20 minute time limit. Vehicles parked at these meters can be
				cited every 20 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 on campus streets, lots and in the Stadium Drive Garage from 7:00 a.m.
				to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through
				Friday at the metered spaces in lot 67 and 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 available for campus 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 Stadium
				Drive Garage Reserved permit that allows parking in the reserved section of the
				parking garage from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Meter
				payment in the garage is required from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through
				Friday. The garage 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 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 charged the full daily rate for the
				garage and referred to the University Judicial Board.
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.
2.

			 Purchase

				individuals based upon application, to be renewed annually. Priority will be
				given to current reserved permit holders and to disabled persons. Vacancies
				will be filled from the priority list of current applicants based on date of
				application, rank and seniority. Written justification for new All Area and 24
				Hour Reserved permit applicants will be reviewed by the Transit, Parking and
				Traffic Committee Chairperson and forwarded to the Vice Chancellor for Finance
				and Administration with a recommendation for approval or disapproval. Current
				All Area and 24 Hour Reserved permits will be reviewed annually for continuing
				need.

				replacement vehicle. Each vehicle parked on campus should be registered with
				the Transit and Parking Department.
4.
Visitor Parking
Visitor permits may be used by persons other than current UA
				students, staff and 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. Stadium Drive Garage visitors
				with a temporary Stadium Drive visitor permit may park in Stadium Drive metered
				spaces and at regular metered spaces without paying the meter fee. These
				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. UA units or individuals receiving visitors are expected to promptly
				contact the Transit and Parking Department (575-PARK) to make parking
				arrangements. Visitors may not be logged-in by telephone unless the requesting
				department has a reserved or signed visitor's space. UA 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-PARK 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, transferred 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.

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 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 UA campus are as follows:
Reserved Faculty/staff - 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.
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, and Student permit holders.
Remote - Parking for Reserved, Faculty/Staff, Resident
				Reserved, Student, and Remote permit holders.
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 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 Faculty/Staff, Student or Remote parking spaces or in the
				Harmon Avenue Garage. Reserved permit holders who also purchase a Motorcycle
				permit may have the Motorcycle permit designated to park in their reserved lot
				in place of their primary vehicle.
Scooter Parking- Scooters (two wheeled motorized vehicles under
				50 cc) parked on campus must display a current UA scooter permit and may park
				at bicycle racks within 50 feet of a road or street or in designated scooter
				parking. According to Arkansas Law, scooters my not be ridden on the sidewalk.
				Scooters must be pushed on the sidewalk to the bicycle rack. The scooter permit
				does not authorize parking in UA motorcycle or car parking spaces.
Reserved lots 2, 4, 8 and 61 are reserved for Faculty/staff
				Reserved and Faculty/staff permit holders from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday
				through Thursday, during the fall and spring semesters.

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
				logo will not be issued on a Remote permit. The handicap permit allows parking
				in lots designated as Faculty/Staff, Student, Remote, and in UA regular parking
				meters without paying the meter fee; lot 26, short-term and Stadium Drive
				Garage meters excluded. Meter payment is required in the accessible parking
				spaces in the Stadium Drive Garage unless a Stadium Drive Garage Reserved
				handicap permit is used. Campus visitors who have a state issued handicap
				placard or vehicle license may park in an ADA parking space by displaying a
				current UA temporary parking permit along with their handicap placard or
				vehicle license. The UA permit must be visible from outside the vehicle through
				the windshield.

				requiring parking for visitors are responsible for requesting parking
				arrangements at least two weeks before the event.
