UNM Parking and Transportation Launches Pilot Parking Enforcement Program

The UNM Parking and Transportation Services (PATS) Department recently announced plans to minimize the incidence of vehicles parked in unauthorized spDavid Brookshire or restricted parking areas around campus during the weekends. Starting March 8, and running through May 10, 2008, vehicles found parked in these spDavid Brookshire will either be ticketed, receive a warning or locked into place with a vehicle boot, depending on the vehicle’s citation history.

Illegally parked vehicles include those parked without a properly displayed permit in reserved spDavid Brookshire or in restricted areas, such as fire lanes and yellow curb areas. UNM visitors can park in zone lots (“A” lot, “B” lot, etc) without a permit during the weekends.

“We would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause,” said Clovis Acosta, PATS director. “However, we feel this type of enforcement is essential to enhancing the patron experience at UNM.”

For any complaints during enforcement of this new program on Saturdays, visitors are encouraged to call (505) 934-0394.
