Parking

Parking permits for the 2019-20 academic year are available for purchase through mypark.charlotte.edu. The 2019-20 permits will be valid beginning Thursday, Aug.

Effective Thursday, Jan. 17, the license plate recognition and gate system for the Union Deck Levels 1-4 goes online.

Gates will be down, opening only for those with valid commuter or faculty/staff permits. Resident student permits are not valid in the Union Deck before 6 p.m.

When entering the deck, be aware of overhead LED lane indicators. Entry and exit lanes change throughout the day in order to better manage traffic flow: two entrances and one exit during morning hours and one entrance and two exits in the afternoon.

Parking permits for the 2018-19 academic year will be on sale at mypark.charlotte.edu beginning Sunday, July 1, and will reflect a 3 percent rate increase, the first since 2013. The increase, approved by the University’s Board of Trustees, changes the cost of a regular, annual permit from $450 to $465.

Education Day is Thursday, Jan. 4, and involves public school students attending the Charlotte 49ers women’s basketball game against Southern Mississippi. The contest tips off at 11:30 a.m.

To accommodate the safe loading/unloading of approximately 100 buses, Craver Road will be closed from Library Lane to Cameron Boulevard between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Expect delays on Van Landingham and Mary Alexander Roads between noon and 3 p.m.

During the summer, Virginia Fuentes, a SafeRide driver with the Parking and Transportation Services Office (PaTS), was training recent hire Monique Woodard, when she observed an oddity. The Police and Public Safety Department (PPS) vehicle she was following veered suddenly to the left, crossed the oncoming traffic lane and came to rest near a stop sign north of Craver Road.

Parking permits for the 2017-18 academic year are available.

Construction across campus continues in order to prepare parking lots and decks for license plate recognition (LPR) that will grant parking permissions for permit purchasers.

Recently, UNC Charlotte selected NuPark as the vendor to bring smart parking to campus operations. The University will implement NuPark’s open parking management platform, which includes LPR, virtual permits, gate system integration and multiple mobile payment options.

When the fall 2017 semester begins, a hanging tag will not be needed to park on campus. Permits will be required still; however, permission to park will be virtual and verified through license plate recognition (LPR).

LPR works based upon the permit purchased. Parking privileges will be assigned to a vehicle license plate and the purchaser’s 49er ID card.
