Winter parking ban starts Nov. 1
The University of Maine annual winter parking ban starts Nov. 1 and ends May 1.
All staff, commuter and visitor parking lots — signed in blue or black — are closed to parking everyday from midnight–6 a.m.
Staff, commuter, and visitor permitted vehicles may park overnight in either the commuter section of the Bridge Tennis Court lot north of Stewart Commons/the Innovative Media Research and Commercialization (IMRC) Center or the College Avenue South lots across the street from Buchanan Alumni House and Lengyel Hall.
Resident parking lots — signed in red — remain open for those properly permitted. Campus community members are encouraged to inform visitors of this policy to avoid having their vehicles cited or towed.
Violators of this parking ban will be cited and/or towed at the owner’s expense. Towing services are provided by Sullivan’s Automotive Services. They are located at 84 Airport Road, Old Town.
Contact the parking office at um.parkingservices@maine.edu or 207.581.4047 for any questions or concerns. More information is available online.
The Black Bear Safe App produced by the UMaine Police Department is available for members of the UMaine community who want to ensure a safe walk to their car or residence hall during the parking ban. It offers several options for assisting with safety and security year-round. Learn more about the app and its offerings by visiting the police department website.
