Traffic and Parking Regulations
I. Administrative Policy
In accordance with A. C. A.
				25-17-307,
				the Board of Trustees of the University of Central Arkansas has established
				regulations for the operation and parking of motor vehicles on the UCA campus.
				These regulations apply to all faculty, staff, students, and others utilizing
				the land and streets owned or controlled by the University of Central Arkansas
				and are effective beginning August 15, 2003. The University Police Department
				is the jurisdictional law enforcement agency empowered under State statutes to
				enforce all parking and traffic regulations of the University of Central
				Arkansas and the State of Arkansas on all campus and university controlled
				properties and those streets adjacent to campus properties.
1. Any appropriately licensed driver choosing
			 to park an automobile on campus or on other UCA owned or controlled properties
			 may do so, provided a parking permit is obtained and provided the driver
			 understands that the permit neither obligates the university to set aside a
			 space for every vehicle nor allows the driver to violate parking regulations.
2. The university reserves the
			 right to restrict the use of an automobile on university property if the owner
			 or driver has abused the privilege of operating a vehicle on campus.
3. The university assumes no responsibility
			 for a vehicle or its contents.
4.
			 Any motor vehicle parked on property owned or controlled by the university,
			 including metered parking, and under the control of a student, faculty member,
			 or staff member must properly display a valid UCA parking permit.
5. Failure to pay fines will result in the
			 blocking of pre-registration or the withholding of transcripts or pay and
			 refund checks.
6. A ticketed
			 vehicle continuing in violation may be ticketed again as long as the violation
			 continues. Overtime parking will be ticketed every two hours.
7. An illegally parked, but non-ticketed
			 vehicle, is not an indication that the regulation being violated is no longer
			 in effect.
I.
"Traffic and Parking Regulations" - Board
				Policy No. 421
Board Policy No. 421 sets forth the parking
				and traffic regulations applicable to all faculty, staff and students. By
				action of the Board in February of 2009, the fee structure for students changed
				from a "parking fee" to an "access and security fee. " Board Policy No. 421
				also establishes the fee that is charged to faculty and staff. However, the
				amount of the fee to be charged for faculty and staff was not addressed at the
				February 2009 meeting but needs to be addressed at this time.
The administration proposes that effective August 2010 the fee
				for the annual parking fee for employees driving automobiles be increased from
				$51.00 to $66.00; that the parking fee for the summer terms for employees
				driving automobiles be increased from $25.00 to $33.00; and that the fee for
				employees riding motorcycles be increased from $5.00 to $10.00.
The parking permit fees charged of employees have not been
				increased in approximately 15 years. The increase in the permit fees is needed
				to allow the University to keep up with the rising cost of providing parking
				structures, safety and security measures, and the shuttle service.
Therefore, the President recommends to the Board of Trustees
				the following resolution:
"BE IT RESOLVED: That the Board of Trustees approves the
				following revisions to Board Policy No. 421, 'Traffic and Parking Regulations'.
