In Fall 2023, Parking and Transportation Services launched the improved Drop-Off/Pick-Up zones as well as a 15-min, no-fee cellphone waiting area. These new zones were designed to decrease traffic congestion from known trouble spots on campus as well as increase pedestrian safety and provide improved ADA features.

Zone locations:

  1. South Campus Turnaround
  2. Liberal Arts Buildings/West Campus Dr.
  3. Family and Consumer Sciences/Beach Dr.
  4. Walter Pyramid
  5. CPAC
  6. East Campus Turnaround/Power Plant

Cellphone Waiting Area

In addition to these improved Drop-Off/Pick-Up areas, a cellphone waiting area has been created in the on upper campus and functions similarly to what is seen at most airports. Drivers are able to park in these spaces temporarily without purchasing a parking permit, make contact with their passengers, and then move forward to a zone on campus to complete their pick-up. It is important that individuals always stay with their vehicles when utilizing these spaces and do not remain past the 15-minute time limit. Unattended vehicles will be subject to citation.
