The following parking and traffic regulations are effective August 1, 2006 and are subject to change at any time with public notice. All vehicles parking on UAB property, owned or leased, must be registered with Parking and Transportation Services and must properly display the appropriate lot permit. Once registered, a vehicle may be legally parked only in the lot for which its permit is designated with the following exceptions:

     student lots (Lot 15).

The privilege of parking a motor vehicle on the UAB campus is authorized upon the condition that those persons operating or parking a motor vehicle on campus obey the parking regulations as explained in this handbook. These regulations are enforced by Parking and Transportation Services and the University Police Department to ensure close adherence to the rules providing maximum benefit to all parkers.

Parking and Transportation Services and the University Police Department are continually working to improve traffic and parking conditions on campus. Any problem relating to parking on campus should be brought to the attention of the Parking and Transportation Services Department (934-3513) between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and the University Police Department (934-4434) after 4:30 p.m. and on weekends.
