Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) makes every effort to provide safe and clear parking during the winter. Special provisions are made for residence hall students by providing alternate overnight parking during snow plowing.

In general, snow removal starts one or two days after a snowstorm only when snowfall exceeds three inches. Otherwise, PTS maintenance will sand and salt parking lots as necessary, regardless of the amount of snowfall.

Most major snow removal operations take place overnight, so contract patrons should be aware and prepared to move their vehicles to the predetermined alternate facilities. If you need assistance locating your alternate facility, parking maps are available at your residence hall reception desk.

Campus Plowing Procedure
Step 1: PTS notifies residence hall directors in advance of snow removal times.
Step 2: The residence hall posts plowing signs with the date included.
Step 3: PTS e-mails the snow plowing schedule and vehicle re-location areas to the students with parking contracts.
Step 4: Unmoved vehicles will be towed (effective Jan. 2005).
