Subject: FACULTY & STAFF PARKING FOR 07 - 08 SCHOOL YEAR
Submitter: Krista Young, Communications and Parking Manager, Public Safety

Message: t’s time to think about parking permits for the 2007 – 08 school year! Public Safety, in our efforts to improve the parking permit process for everyone on campus, listens to feedback from the campus community and engages a Parking Committee to make minor adjustments to improve the overall parking experience at Augsburg.

This fall, based on the feedback we received, we plan to make the following five adjustments:

1. Hangtags will be smaller and provide basic parking information

2. Permit registration will be completed 100% online

3. Permit sales will begin for all faculty and staff on August 1st

4. All faculty & staff who complete their online permit registration by August 6th will be placed in a drawing for giveaways of 2 free year-long parking permits

5. Instead of being mailed, permits will be available for pickup in common campus areas at set dates and times, and will also be available 24/7 from the DPS Communications Center in the Urness/Mortensen lobby

Public Safety is also adding a full-time staff position (Communications & Parking Coordinator) to the department for supporting customer service.

Additional information for permit registration will be available through e-mail, A-mail, postal mail, and online at our Public Safety website beginning July 1st.

Thanks to all faculty and staff who provided parking feedback over the past year – please keep letting us know how parking works for you! To voice ideas or ask questions, please e-mail us at parking@augsburg.edu.

Have a great summer!
