Now that warmer weather is here, we tend to leave our windows down (or "cracked a bit"), sunroofs open and convertible tops down. As a result, there is a rise in parking permit thefts.
The Parking Office asks motorists to keep windows up and doors locked. A $15 processing fee is assessed for lost or stolen parking permits. In the event your permit is lost or stolen, call the Parking Office immediately at (814) 865-1436, or your parking chairperson for instructions.
Summer hours of operation for the Parking Office will be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. These hours will be in effect through Friday, Aug. 21.
To meet the needs of those conducting short-term University business in the core areas of campus, the Parking Office is installing red 40-minute meters in the following locations:
* Carnegie Building: The area southwest of Carnegie is being re-designed to increase the number of meters.
* Visitor lot north of Walker Building: Three additional meters have been installed in the northeast corner of this lot. People using these meters must display a current faculty/staff or student parking permit and have time showing on the meter, or the vehicle will be subject to ticketing.
The University parking policy requires that all vehicles parked on the University Park campus be registered with the Parking Office. For more information, call (814) 865-1436.
