Greetings! UND is in the midst of final revisions to its parking policy and I hope ACUPA members can provide some insight.
Citation-based Suspension of Parking Privileges There has been some additional discussion surrounding the loss of parking privileges based on citations. I'm looking for verbiage specifically addressing: 1. What triggers a loss of parking privileges (is it the number of citations, is it the total bill outstanding, etc.), 2. Who decides when parking privileges are lost (is it Parking Services or another level of administration: Dean of Students, Provost, etc.), 3. The logic supporting citation-based suspension of parking privileges, and 4. Repeat violators. (If they continue to pay parking tickets in a timely manner, should we care?) Additionally, are these issues handled differently among students, faculty and staff? If so, how? Visitor Parking Does your institution have any "free" parking for visitors? If the answer is yes, it may be free to the visitor, but who really pays for it? How are free spaces patrolled to ensure faculty, staff and students are not using/abusing spaces designed as visitor parking? Moreover, how do you make parking on campus visitor-friendly? After Hours Parking Finally, does your institution allow after hours parking on campus without a permit? "After hours" could be loosely defined as any time between 4:30 p.m. and 3 a.m., weekends and holidays. However, UND has several night classes which would require students to park on campus between 4:30 and 10 p.m. These individuals would not technically qualify for after-hours parking sans permit. How are these situations addressed for your institution? I look forward to your responses.
