UMaine Winter Parking Ban in Effect

Contact: Joe Carr at (207) 581-3571

ORONO — The University of Maine’s winter overnight parking ban is in effect through May 1, 2008, according to the UMaine Parking Services Office.

The annual ban became effective on Nov. 1.

Staff, commuter and visitor parking areas are closed between midnight and 6 a.m during this period every year. No vehicles may be parked in those lots between midnight and 6 a.m. 

The College Avenue South parking lot is available for temporary parking during those hours. Motorists should make sure that their UMaine parking permits are displayed in vehicles using this overnight lot. Those who do not have a UMaine permit and require a temporary one should visit the Student Service Center in Memorial Union, the Parking Service Office at Doris Twitchell Allen Village or the Public Safety Building (during evening hours and on weekends).

Those with questions should either consult a parking map or call the Parking Services Office at 581-4047.

Vehicle owners are urged to consult the Parking Services’s website (http://www.umaine.edu/parking/) for updates related to parking, snow removal and lot closings.
