Construction contractor parking is available by application here. Construction contractors who have contracts with the university may be approved to purchase permits on a case-by-case basis.
Parking inside fenced staging or construction areas is limited and requires a Red Zone permit. The staging areas are not intended to be parking areas. They are generally limited to one to ten spaces per project for the job superintendent and supervisor vehicles with Red Zone permits, as authorized by the job superintendent.

Staging in fenced areas or staging areas is allowed for a brief period for pick-ups and drop-offs and is not to circumvent the purchase of a permit.
Vehicles parked without appropriate permits may be subject to ticketing, immobilization (booting), and towing.
Construction contractors must purchase Purple Zone permits for job supervisors and non-supervisors to park in Lot P 10W (Bobcat Stadium West) which requires transportation to the job site.
Contractor Permits follow all rules regarding the display of permits, both virtual and physical.
Contractors may not purchase Pay-and-Display or Pay-by-App permits to circumvent construction parking rules.
1) Vendors and contractors (other than construction contractors) who have contracts with the university may purchase red restricted permits if they wish to have red restricted parking privileges. They may also purchase perimeter parking permits but can only park in the Perimeter (Purple) lots.

2) Vendors or Service providers with no contractual relationship with the university must park in the pay garages or may purchase a perimeter permit and park in any Perimeter (Purple) lot.

3) Vendors with marked vehicles who provide short-term business on campus such as the delivery of food, flowers, newspapers, etc.… may park in university surface lots or in loading zones for no longer than 15 minutes with emergency flashers. No permit is needed.
