University Parking Regulations

The Policy and Procedure is available online at http://umanitoba.ca/admin/governance/governing_documents#university-community.

Parking

Part I: Reason for Regulation

1.1 The University of Manitoba recognizes that at any given time there is a large number of Motor Vehicles driving and parking on campus. In order for the University to maintain orderly conduct of parking of Motor Vehicles, Parking Regulations must be established. Furthermore, as an ancillary service, parking must be operated on a cost recovery basis. These regulations set out the rules, fees and remedies available in association with parking on University Property, and they apply to all staff, students, and the general public. The University of Manitoba Act, which is an act of legislature, empowers the University of Manitoba to govern parking on University Property and to make parking regulations. This includes fees and charges for parking violations and actions taken for failure to pay fees and charges.

Part II: Regulation Content

Parking Permits – General

Eligibility and Priority

2.11 All persons are eligible to apply for a parking permit as hereinafter provided. Priority in allocation of parking permits will be given to full-time staff members and students of the University. Any person applying for a parking permit may be required to provide identification in order to establish eligibility.

Authorization

2.12 On Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m, a parking permit is required for any Motor Vehicle parked or left on University Property in an assigned parking area, unless the Motor Vehicle is otherwise parked at a meter, Public Pay Parking Area or Parkade in compliance with the Regulations. A parking permit conveys the authorization by the University for a specific Motor Vehicle, registered with Parking Services, to be parked in an assigned parking area. Registration includes an application form and payment of the Parking Fee. Each permit will indicate the category of parking authorized and, if appropriate, the area on campus where that Motor Vehicle is authorized to park.

Reserved Twenty-Four (24) Hour Parking

2.13 Subject to sections 2.36-2.38 on Event Parking, certain areas in various parking lots will be designated by the University as Reserved Parking Areas. Parking in a Reserved Parking Area is limited to Motor Vehicles displaying a valid parking permit for that specific Reserved Parking Area. Reserved Parking Areas are appropriately signed and identified.

Alternate Parking Permit

2.14 Effective September 13, 2013, alternate parking permits will no longer be issued by Parking Services. All current alternate permit holders may keep their eligibility until such time as they cancel their parking privileges or their termination of employment with the University. Eligible staff members who may be using an alternate vehicle on University Property and previously applied for alternate parking permits may retain their alternate permit upon payment of the appropriate fee in effect at the time of application and provided the second Motor Vehicle is registered and the staff member complies with any University policies, procedures, regulations and other rules then in effect. Where an alternate parking permit has been issued, only one (1) registered Motor Vehicle at any time is authorized to park on University Property at any given time (unless the second registered Motor Vehicle is otherwise parked at a metered or Public Pay Parking Area or Parkade in compliance with the Regulations).

Affixing or Displaying Parking Permits

2.15 Parking permits must be properly affixed or displayed on the Motor Vehicle as follows:

(a) parking permit decals issued by the University must be affixed on the lower corner of the front windshield on the driver’s side of the Motor Vehicle. The backing must be removed from the permit and the permit affixed to the glass using the adhesive which is on the permit; and,

(b) parking permit hang tags issued by the University must be displayed according to directions printed on the permit.

2.16 Expired, invalid and cancelled parking permits must be removed from Motor Vehicles immediately after the expiry, invalidation or cancellation date and not displayed in conjunction with a valid parking permit.

Parking Permit Replacement

2.17 Parking permit replacements may be issued, at a predetermined rate, to eligible permit holders when parking permits have been lost or stolen.

2.18 Parking permit replacements may be issued, at no cost, to eligible permit holders where parking permits, through weather damage or fading, are in need of replacement, as determined by Parking Services.

2.19 Where a parking permit replacement is issued, the original parking permit must be returned to Parking Services, unless lost or stolen. If the parking permit has been lost or stolen, an affidavit will be required from the permit holder.

Term of Permit

2.20 Parking permits are issued for a specified period of time, but immediately become invalid upon the happening of any of the following events:

(a) on the date of expiration shown on the parking permit (if applicable);

(b) when the parking permit is displayed on a Motor Vehicle other than the Motor Vehicle for which it was issued;

(d) when the parking permit has been cancelled or revoked;

(e) when the parking permit is lost or stolen;

(f) when the Motor Vehicle for which the parking permit is issued has been placed on the University’s tow away list;

(g) when the applicant for a parking permit gives false or incorrect information at the time of application; and

(h) when a residence student of the University vacates or is required to vacate a residence located on University Property (even if the property is leased from the University).

Permits Not Transferable

2.21 Parking permits are not transferable and may be used only for the Motor Vehicle in which the permit was issued unless otherwise authorized in writing by Parking Services. Parking permits remain the property of the University and must be destroyed when the permit expires or becomes invalid.

Permits for Persons with Physical Disabilities

2.22 Any persons with physical disabilities may apply to Parking Services for a parking permit for Designated Accessible Parking Areas as determined by Parking Services. In order to qualify for a parking permit for Designated Accessible Parking Areas, a valid Society for Manitobans with Disabilities (“SMD”) parking permit must be presented by the permit applicant. The SMD permit expiry date will be relied upon by Parking Services to determine the length of time for which the parking permit for Designated Accessible Parking Areas is required.

2.23 Holders of valid University accessible parking permits who find no signed Designated Accessible Parking Area is available, may park in the next most convenient parking area (other than a residence student parking area, or parking lots N, O and V, as designated by the University) and must immediately report the matter to Parking Services. The report should include the vehicle license number and accessible parking permit number.

Bicycles

2.24 Bicycles should be parked only in proper University bicycle racks or the University Parkade Bike Station. Parking and storing of bicycles inside any University building, or in any manner which may create a problem related to pedestrian safety, building access or maintenance, as determined by the University, is prohibited. Bicycles parked in such a fashion are subject to removal by the University and their owners may be subject to a fee or charge, at rates established by the University, from time to time.

Rights of Cancellation

2.25 Notwithstanding any other provision of these Regulations, the University may withdraw areas normally used for parking and cancel any parking permit if the parking area referred to therein is required for construction or other purposes. If the assigned parking area or any portion thereof for which the parking permit is valid is deemed by the University to be required for other purposes and if alternative parking is not provided by the University, the unearned portion of the Parking Fee, minus any amounts due and owing to the University as fees or charges incurred as a result of parking or leaving Motor Vehicles on University Property in contravention of the Regulations, will be refunded to the registered parking permit holder.
