Where Do My Parking & Transportation Dollars Go? Revenue generated by Parking & Transportation Services is solely devoted to providing services that directly benefit our customers. As an auxiliary unit within Campus Services, the department is financially self-sustaining, with Parking generating its own revenue. In addition to mandatory student fees and an Institute allocation, Transportation earns revenue from charter rentals, special transit services, and transit advertising. The graphs below show how your parking dollars were invested in 2014-2015 in order to provide the best products and services to you and to all of our patrons.

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIESParking & Transportation Services makes every effort to provide convenient, flexible, and dependable options for traveling to and around the Georgia Tech campus. Observing the following guidelines will help ensure a positive parking and transportation experience for you and all patrons.

Parking Patrons • Visitors can purchase temporary parking permits from Parking &

Transportation Services; otherwise, they should park in designated visitor parking areas or at meters and pay the posted rate. All other campus parking is by permit only.

• Permit customers should make sure their permit hangs from the rearview mirror with the photo facing outward.

• Flashing hazard lights or dashboard notes are not substitutes for permit parking or parking at meters, visitor spaces, or in no parking zones.

• Fire lanes, fire exits, fire hydrants, building doorways, entryways, bus stops, bike lanes, lawns, landscapes, sidewalks, crosswalks, and no parking zones should always remain clear of vehicles.

• Areas not designated specifically as parking spaces are considered no parking zones.

• Motorcycles should refrain from parking at bike racks, in vehicle parking spaces, and in the aforementioned no parking zones.

• Parking in reserved spaces is allowed only with the owner’s authorization.

• Parking permits are not transferable between customers and should not be given or sold to others. Doing so may result in towing or citations—as will adding another person’s vehicle information to your account.

• Parking rules and regulations are strictly enforced through the issuance of citations. Vehicle owners are responsible for all citations issued. Customers may appeal any citation within 10 days of issuance.

Transportation Passengers • Transit vehicles load and unload at assigned stops only.

Drivers are not permitted to stop at unmarked locations.

• Trolleys and Stingers may become crowded at times. For everyone’s safety, please stand behind the yellow line on Stingers and Trolleys, and refrain from standing in stairwells.

• Refrain from distracting transit drivers while vehicles are in motion.

• After exiting, please walk behind the vehicle when crossing the street. Otherwise, wait until it leaves the transit stop before crossing.

• Lost items will be taken to the Parking & Transportation Services office. Email [email protected] with inquiries.

• Take all belongings when exiting vehicles, including any food or trash.

• Georgia Tech is a smoke-free campus. Smoking is not permitted at transit stops or inside the vehicles.
