Appropriate Uses Of Visitors' Parking Hangtags

It has been brought to the attention of the Homewood Parking and Traffic Advisory Committee that some offices have been using visitors' parking hang-tags inappropriately. Homewood faculty, staff and students are not eligible to use parking hang-tags, and tickets will be issued to the offenders. The Office of Security has been asked to survey visitor hang-tag usage at campus parking meters and to ticket Homewood faculty, staff and students using visitor hang- tags. Any department to be found consistently misusing visitor hang-tags will be precluded from purchasing them from the Parking Office.

It is the responsibility of each department issuing hang-tags to explain their correct usage. Please inform all staff members who are responsible for visitor parking hang- tags to:

treat the hang-tags with the same level of security as petty cash and postage stamps (at $4.00 each);

stamp or print (in ink) the date on the front of the hang-tag;

instruct the visitor to park only at an open metered space or in the visitor section of P lot;

instruct guests (for use at meters) to place the hang-tag on the rear-view mirror with the dated side facing the windshield or (for use in the visitors' section of P lot) instruct guests to give the hang-tag to the lot attendant along with their ticket when they leave the parking lot.

Please review these guidelines for using visitors' parking hang-tags with your staff to ensure cooperation from all offices. Thank you for your cooperation.
