April 10, 2008

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — University of Florida and Shands staff and faculty are urged to renew their parking decals by Tuesday.

The decals will expire May 1. Ordering by Tuesday will ensure that they are received on time and drivers can avoid the possibility of parking tickets.

There are three ways to order:

1. ONLINE (recommended): Benefits-eligible employees purchasing decals through payroll deduction may order online at www.parking.ufl.edu and will receive their decals by mail.

2. BY MAIL: OPS employees and others wishing to purchase decals by check may visit www.parking.ufl.edu to complete and print a mail order form.

3. IN PERSON: Visit Transportation and Parking offices at Gale Lemerand Drive and Mowry Road from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Employees should bring their UFID and vehicle license plate numbers.

Student parking decals also are on sale. They also can be ordered online and mailed before the fall semester.

Staff and faculty who are considering the Carpool Parking Program can use the UF GreenRide carpool matching services to help them find carpool partners. They will match employees who live near each other or along the same commute path and have similar schedules and commuting preferences. UF faculty and staff members registered with GreenRide are eligible for drawings for a variety of special prizes including free dining at the Fresh Food Company or Gator Corner, Pepsi products, Gator items from the UF Bookstore and an autographed football from Coach Urban Meyer.

Employees should note that any outstanding parking fines must be resolved before a new decal may be issued. Contact Transportation and Parking Services at www.parking.ufl.edu or 352-392-6655 with any questions.
