OXFORD, Miss. – The University of Mississippi has added new
designated handicap parking areas for football games and is
offering shuttles from one lot to key areas near
Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
More than 190 parking spaces are being set aside in the
MDOT lot at the intersection of Highway 6 and Old Taylor
Road for handicap parking. The area, in the south end of
the lot, is to be marked with standard ADA signs.
Shuttles are to run continuously from this area to three
tents near the stadium, beginning four hours before kickoff
and continuing until 90 minutes after each game. The
shuttles are to be available Saturday (Sept. 22) for the
Florida game and for all remaining games this season, said
Andrew Mullins, executive assistant to the chancellor.
Also, any space on campus – except lots reserved for UMAA
Foundation parking – marked for handicap access only is
reserved for handicap use on football weekends. But shuttle
service is provided only to and from the handicap shuttle
tent in the MDOT lot.
Following are guidelines for using the ADA parking area in
the MDOT lot and the stadium shuttle:
state issued handicap credential, proper picture
identification and the person issued the credential – must
