Twin Cities Campus Parking Policies
The department of Parking and Transportation Services at the
University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus is responsible
for the administration, operation, and maintenance of all
parking facilities on the Minneapolis and St. Paul campuses.
Parking and Transportation Services supports transportation
alternatives to the single occupant vehicle and encourages
members of the University community to walk, in-line skate,
bike, carpool, or take the bus. By encouraging transportation
alternatives, fewer parking spaces are needed on campus. Support
for transportation alternatives is evident throughout these
policies.
The policies are the result of recommendations made by the
1999 Parking and Transportation Task Force. They were reviewed
by the Faculty Senate Committee on Finance and Planning, the
President's Executive Committee, and the Board of Regents;
and were approved by the Vice President of University Services.
The Task Force was established to evaluate parking and transportation
policies at the University from a customer's point of view.
