SUGGESTIONS/IDEAS FOR PARKING "SMART" ON A SNOW DAY

  1. Park your vehicle next to other parked vehicles.
  2. Use the UMass bus service.
  3. Carpool rides whenever possible.
  4. Walk if possible.
  5. Have someone drop you off.
  6. If space is not available in your assigned lot, go to either Lot 25 (north of roadway) or Yellow Lot (both west of Physical Plant). During snow conditions, it is not possible to guarantee normal lot capacity will be available.
  7. If you receive a parking citation and believe it was improperly issued, you may appeal it at Parking Services within 14 days from of the issue date. Appeals can be submitted in writing, appealed in person to the Hearings Clerk, or appealed online here.
