Please be
advised, in order to accommodate the Parking Deck Construction, we will be
issuing new summer parking hang tags prior to May 8, 2001. These will be
valid for summer 2001 only.
- We will invalidate all current parking decals effective May 8, 2001.
Summer Parking Regulations will be stringently enforced through use
of the Boot, and also we will continue to tow, so your cooperation will
be appreciated.
- Should you have outstanding ticket and/or decal tag issues with
Parking Services, you will not be issued a Summer Hang Tag until you
have successfully satisfied these issues with the University.
The University will offer the following incentives to
encourage car pooling as follows:
Students currently possessing a valid 2000-1 decal:
OPTION 1: CAR POOLING
Agree to car pool to campus. Your car pool group, which
you will develop and identify, will be issued one tag that is
to be used between the group's vehicles. Keep in mind the various class
schedules when you develop your group. Car pooling incentives are:
A) Two* people per vehicle: Each receives an $87.50 credit
voucher toward your 2001-2 academic year tag, or
B) Three* people per vehicle: Each receives a $112.50
credit voucher toward your 2001-2 academic year tag,or
C) Four* people or more per vehicle: Each person receives
a $137.50 credit voucher toward your 2001-2 year tag
*Number includes the driver. Credit Vouchers only. No
checks or cash issued.
*Incentives include credit on current tag.
- While the thought of car pooling with fellow students may seem
challenging, it might be easier if you think in terms of who lives in
your path to campus as opposed to going out of your way to pick others
up or to ride with someone. Whose house do you drive by everyday on the
way? Whose house do you drive by before you get on the Parkway, or Rt.
78 or the Turnpike? Talk it up with your friends and classmates.
- Keep in mind that recent reports suggest gasoline prices will be
going up sharply this summer. Car pooling has a very positive impact on
the environment, too.
OPTION 2: Use some other means to get to work
(mass transit, scooter, bike, walk, drop off, etc.) and
receive $87.50 credit on next year's tag. Voucher only. No checks or cash
issued.
- Van shuttle service will be running between the South Orange train
station, campus, and the Ring Building 6:30 AM - 7:30 PM daily
.
We have ordered two new bicycle racks, which will be installed in
addition to the one at the library.
NJTransit Bus stops right in front of campus.
OPTION 3: Continue to drive your car to
campus,
receive a new summer 2001 parking tag, and receive no
special credit incentive toward your fall tag.
OPTION 4: If you currently do not have a
parking decal,
and have to have one for the summer, they may be purchased
at Parking Services, Duffy Hall, 9 AM - 6 PM for $35. You may still buy
into one of the options above after you purchase a summer tag.
Handicapped Parking:
Persons with a state issued Handicap tag; placard or
permanent handicap license plates may participate in Option 1 or 3 and
still park in a designated Handicap Parking Place on campus. There are
enough Handicap Spaces on campus to accommodate everyone currently with a
handicap tag.
General
We are aware that
personal needs and situations vary and may create some minor
inconveniences during our summer parking initiative. We are offering these
incentives to strongly encourage you to participate in car pooling or to
use public transportation. By so doing, we will be able to reduce the
number of cars on campus - in return you save money and we will all
benefit by the additional 525 parking spaces we will have available to all
of us in September.
- Attached please find a Summer Parking Decal Retagging form to open,
print, complete, and sign.
Please bring the completed form, your
vehicle registration and your SHU ID to the Greek Room, first floor
University Center Thursday May 3rd, or Friday May 4th between 10 AM -
4PM. (Or come to Parking Services in Duffy Hall
M-F 9 AM - 6 PM after these times).
Open and complete:

cooperating and working through this.
