WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2012-2013
Changes you’ll see New South Village construction projects have eliminated much of the parking around the highrise residence halls Lots 8, 8A and MSU will have special permits, and only upperclassmen assigned to highrise residence halls are eligible to purchase them. Any vehicle parked in that area without a permit specific to that lot is subject to citation or immobilization.
Freshmen assigned to the highrises will have to park in North Deck This should last for a year, until the new South Village Deck is completed.
The Campus Shuttle Rt. 47 Yellow Line to offer extended hours weekdays from 10 PM until 2 AM and weekends from 8 AM until 2 AM This is primarily offered to accommodate freshmen in the highrises who must park in North Deck but anyone on campus may ride. Run time during those hours is expected to be every 20-30 minutes.
Parking at CRI will be limited until the new CRI Deck opens midSeptember With CRI Deck’s completion, over 1,300 spaces will be added and CRI parking will be more than adequate.
Permit price up from last year The price of a full-time permit increased by $35 to $415 for academic year 2012-2013.
All permits are hangtags No more window stickers! All parking permits are now hangtags to be displayed from the rear view mirror or on the driver’s side dash in a PaTS-approved clear pouch. (Dash pouches are available from the PaTS office; cost is $1 for two pouches). Permit hangtags have a Radio Frequency ID (RFID) chip that will open gated areas appropriate for your permit type. You may register more than one vehicle to a permit for an additional $15 fee.
SafeRide changes Evening safety transport shifts from individually requested rides to point-to-point service at designated spots along a set route. This will eliminate long wait times and provide a reliable schedule. Daytime disability transport is no longer on-demand. Services must be prearranged. More information about SafeRide is in this publication and saferide.uncc.edu.

Expect parking to be near full capacity during the first two weeks of the semester. Nearly EVERYONE will be on campus, attending class, buying books, paying tuition, etc.
Permit enforcement begins on the first day of class, every semester If you don’t have a parking permit by then, you will not be allowed to park in main decks and lots. Either plan to pay to park in a Visitor deck (if full, you will be directed to where you may legally park until a permit is purchased) or purchase a daily temporary permit from the Parking and Transportation Services Office (#23 on campus map) for $5 per day.
Peak parking demand expected to be highest from 9:30 AM - 2 PM, Monday through Thursday Based on the University’s scheduling of classes, parking areas that fill up earliest are: • Union Deck • Lot 18 (beside the Union Deck) • Lot 19 (in front of the Union Deck)
9201 University City Blvd. • Charlotte, NC 28223 www.uncc.edu
• East Deck 2 and 3 • West Deck
WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2012-2013
CONTINUED
There’s no getting around the fact that campus has grown so much that close-in parking is very limited from late morning until early afternoon. So if your first choice for parking is full, don’t circle! Have a back-up alternative in mind that is farther out from the academic core and along a shuttle route. You may be surprised by how much easier it is to just park, ride, and get on with your day.
Parking close does not necessarily save time Average time to find space during peak use periods: East Decks and Union Deck, 35 minutes; West Deck, 45 minutes. • Shuttle from Lot 6 to campus center: 20 minutes (based on maximum bus run-time wait). • Walk from Lot 6 to campus center: 10 minutes.
YOU MAY NOT GET A SPACE WHERE YOU’D PREFER. Lots and decks closest to the academic core fill up Monday - Thursday, 9:30 AM to 2 PM.
1971 - Lot 5, UNC Charlotte: Parking was a common complaint then, too, for the same reason it is today: many students want to be here and most prefer to drive themselves. Four decades later, UNC Charlotte has nearly 14,000 spaces in lots and multi-storied decks. Still, with enrollment numbers up again this year, expect parking to be tight.
PARKING PERMITS Everyone who buys a permit is able to park. The price is the same for students, faculty and staff. Permission to park is granted equally and there is enough parking for everyone. Parking on campus is regulated by an ordinance adopted by the Board of Trustees of UNC Charlotte.

STUDENT PARKING AT UNC CHARLOTTE CENTER CITY BUILDING (CCB) Center City does not have separate parking dedicated to the building, which is typical of other buildings uptown. The University has, however, negotiated an arrangement with Secure Parking, Inc., owner of the closest surrounding lots, for Faculty/Staff and Student parking in the 707 N. Brevard St. Lot. (ADA accessible parking is available in the 625 N. Brevard St. lot.) Center City parking requires a time-determined permit, specific to day and class schedule:

CC1Y CC00
Center City Parking Permits for students are offered as follows: • Full time annual permit $415 (more than two uses per week, day or evening). This is the least expensive choice for students who will be at Center City more than two days, evenings, or combination, per week. If the permit is needed for just one semester, refunds will be according to the campus parking refund schedule. Full time CCB permit holders receive two hangtags: one for parking on main campus and one for parking at Center City. The CCB permit must be displayed to park at CCB. The regular permit must be displayed to park on main campus. • One-use permit $95 (one use per week, one day or one night for one semester). Also valid at Main Campus in Commuter-designated parking areas after 3 PM. • Two-use Permit $160 (two uses per week, two days or two nights or one day and one night or any combination not exceeding two uses per week, for one semester). Also valid at main campus in Commuter-designated parking areas after 3 PM. For questions and advice about which CCB permit fits with your schedule, please call PaTS, 704-687-0161. Faculty Staff Center City parking is best arranged through the PaTS Office. Parking enforcement at Center City is under the administration of Secure Parking, Inc. Citation appeals or complaints are handled with Secure Parking. PaTS has no citation enforcement or appeals authority at Center City.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT PERMITS Where can I purchase a permit? Permits may be purchased online or in the Parking and Transportion Services Office (building #23 on Campus Map). Normal office hours are Monday through Friday from 8 AM - 5 PM. During the Fall and Spring registration periods, Student Permit pick-up and purchase stations are set up in the Student Union and hours are extended.
What if I have to wait on a financial aid refund until I can buy a permit? If you’re unable to purchase a permit before classes and permit enforcement begins, you may buy a temporary permit from Parking and Transportation Services. Price is $5 per day.
Where can I park if I forget my permit? Visitor decks and parking meters are good places to park if you are not displaying a valid permit. If you’ve bought a permit and just forgot it, a temporary permit can be issued at the PaTS Office. Permit holders may get up to ten (10) temporary day permits per year at no charge.
What if I’m graduating in December? Can I just buy a permit for a semester? All full-time permits are for the academic year. But if you graduate or withdraw before April 15, return your permit for a prorated refund. The refund schedule is available at pats.uncc.edu/permits.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT PERMITS CONTINUED
Are permits required on weekends? Permits are required at all times but they are currently not enforced after 4 PM Friday through 8 AM Monday.
What should I do if I have lost my permit? File a complaint with the Campus Police and attach it to the affidavit available with Parking and Transportation Services for a replacement permit. A $15 replacement fee will be charged.
Can I use a permit I have found?
every day. Therefore, parking spaces turn over constantly. Sure, convenient, close-in parking is at a premium during peak class hours, but so far, Parking and Transportation Services has maintained an acceptable percentage of open spaces. That’s why measures like sales limits and excluding freshmen have so far been avoided.
Will the price of permits continue to rise? Yes, that’s expected, unless/until demand for parking on campus decreases significantly.
CITATIONS
No. Permits are registered to a specific person and vehicle. Using a found permit may subject you to fines and other penalties. Return found permits to the PaTS Office or Campus Police.

Parking at yellow curb . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $60
Carpools need to be registered with PaTS; each carpool uses a single hangtag with multivehicle registration. Each person in a registered car pool is given the privilege of getting 10 temporary day permits at no charge for those exceptions when a carpool member needs to drive separately. For more information about carpools, please visit or call the PaTS office for details. ShareTheRideNC.org offers free carpool partner matching.
Registration violation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $60
Are there special permits for motorcycles? Motorcycles have electronic permits. They can be registered alone or may be added to a multi-vehicle permit (but only one vehicle registered to that permit is allowed on campus at a time). Please visit or call the PaTS office for more details.
Are permit refunds available if I withdraw from or leave the University? People who return permits may receive a prorated refund based on the date of purchase and date of return. Night permits may not be refunded after the second week of class that semester. For more information, refer to the list of prorated refund amounts.
What determines the price of a permit?
The primary factor that determines permit price is the cost of new deck construction and replacing flat lots with decks. It’s expensive to build and maintain new parking decks necessary to accommodate enrollment and demand. Existing surface lots make way for new buildings; those spaces must be replaced with decks.
How are the proceeds from permits spent? The majority of the permit proceeds and Visitor Parking fees goes towards construction of new decks, to pay debt on existing decks, and for repairs and maintenance of all decks and lots. A small percentage is used for operations such as utilities to light the decks and lots, trash collection, grounds upkeep, personnel, equipment, etc.
Is it true that more permits are sold than the University has spaces? Yes. If permits were sold on a one-decal-to-one-space system, thousands of students would be denied the privilege to park while lots and decks would sit half empty. Few students occupy a space for more than five or six hours a day. Also, not everyone has classes or works here

FAQS ABOUT CITATIONS Where do I pay citations?
NEITHER
Citations may be paid by mail or in person at the PaTS Office. Citations paid within 10 days are automatically reduced by 50% (with the exception of False Registration and parking in a space or accessibility ramp reserved for the disabled).
PARKING SERVICES
What if I don’t agree with the citation?
FINANCIALLY FROM
A written appeal must be filed within ten (10) business days. An online appeal form is also available. A response will be mailed to you.
NOR THE UNIVERSITY BENEFIT CITATION FINES
How are the proceeds from citations spent? According to North Carolina law, the University is only allowed to retain 20% of the money collected from parking citations. The remaining 80% must be remitted to the state to support local public schools (elementary, middle and high schools). The 20% that UNC Charlotte is allowed to keep is earmarked to cover operating costs for citation collections. Unfortunately, the cost of the enforcement and collections program significantly exceeds this amount.
Can I park at a malfunctioning meter? Sorry, no; you may get a ticket for that. Move your vehicle to another meter and please report the malfunction to Parking and Transportation Services, 704-687-0161.
FAQS ABOUT CITATIONS CONTINUED Will I lose my parking privileges if I get too many tickets? Parking and Transportation Services has the authority to tow or boot a vehicle if violation tickets total four (4) or more or unpaid deck vouchers total seven (7) or more. Parking privileges are then revoked and your vehicle will remain on the Tow List until the account is cleared.
I wasn’t driving my car at the time of the citation. Do I have to pay it?
The person to whom a permit is issued is responsible for parking violations cited to the vehicle for which the permit is issued. If there is no permit, the registered owner of the vehichle is responsible.
What if I need to park near a building just to unload something? For short-term loading/unloading, use any emergency blue light telephone and give your vehicle information and location. You will be given 15 minutes and will be asked to have a licensed driver attend your vehicle.
