The new parking garage will open soon offering 350 spots.<\/p><\/div>\n

The University of Mississippi is growing, and parking areas are changing to accommodate that growth. As a result, the number of parking permits\u00a0available will increase slightly this year.<\/p>\n

“The increase will help us continue our parking lot maintenance and new lot construction,” said Mike Harris, director of parking and transportation. “It will also help with the garage, along with increase costs associated with transportation.”<\/p>\n

Here are the changes ahead for the 2015 fall semester:<\/p>\n

Students<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year, all students will be able to purchase their parking permit by date, based on their classification, on a first-come, first-served basis. The cost of the permits varies. Here are the release dates:<\/p>\n

– Commuters<\/p>\n

Cost: Main campus, $150; Park-and-Ride, $75<\/p>\n

July 10 \u2013 Seniors and graduate students (90 or more credit hours completed)<\/p>\n

July 13 \u2013 Juniors (60-89 hours completed)<\/p>\n

July 14 \u2013 Sophomores (30-59 hours completed)<\/p>\n

July 15 \u2013 Freshmen (0-29 hours completed)<\/p>\n

Commuter permits are limited and once all main\u00a0campus\u00a0permits are sold, students will have the option to purchase a park-and-ride permit.<\/p>\n

Commuter park-and-ride permit holders will be able to park at the Jackson Avenue Center\u00a0or the South Lot at the corner of Highway 6 and Old Taylor Road\u00a0to get to campus.<\/p>\n

– Residents<\/p>\n

Cost: $200<\/p>\n

July 16 \u2013 Residential West (Kincannon, Pittman, Burns and Minor halls)<\/p>\n

July 17 \u2013 Residential Central (Brown, Crosby, Deaton, Hefley, Stewart, Martin and Stockard halls, and Alpha Omicron Pi, Chi Omega, Kappa Alpha Theta, Pi Beta Phi and Alpha Delta Pi)<\/p>\n

July 20 \u2013\u00a0Residential East (Residential College\u00a0South,\u00a0Residential College North, Residential Hall No. 1, Delta Delta Delta, Delta Gamma, Kappa Delta, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Phi Mu)<\/p>\n

July 21 \u2013 Residential South (formerly Fraternity Parking\u00a0and Village) and Campus Walk (Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Theta Pi, Delta Psi, Kappa Alpha, Kappa Sigma, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Kappa Tau, Pi Kappa Alpha, Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Chi, Sigma Nu, Sigma Pi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Village, Campus Walk)<\/p>\n

– Overflow (Residential park-and-ride)<\/p>\n

Cost: $100<\/p>\n

All residential overflow will be located at the Whirlpool parking lot. The new bus system at Whirlpool\u00a0(Silver Route)\u00a0will run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.\u00a0Monday-Friday\u00a0with on-call service from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Sunday through Thursday.<\/p>\n

This is the same service offered at the Jackson Avenue Center lot, but\u00a0residential overflow will\u00a0move to Whirlpool to\u00a0accommodate more vehicles. Additional lighting,\u00a0cameras and on-site security\u00a0will be added to the lot.<\/p>\n

About 65 percent of students living on campus brought a vehicle this school year, Harris said. Due to limited parking, this displaced 310 residents to the park-and-ride lot\u00a0at the JAC. As new residence halls open next year, an estimated 525 to 550 vehicles will be displaced. If student residents do not absolutely need a vehicle on campus,\u00a0Harris recommends they utilize other transportation options on campus.\u00a0These include Zipcar, Zimride, bicycles and various transit routes.<\/p>\n

– Additions<\/p>\n

The Kennon Observatory bus stop will be under construction this summer to transform it into a transit hub, providing a central campus drop-off spot for students and making the bus a better option. A new commuter parking lot will also be added near the track facility on Hill Drive that will open this fall.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Faculty and Staff<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Parking Permits<\/p>\n

Faculty-staff parking permits will be available for purchase July 22 and will cost $160 for the year. Reserved spaces for faculty-staff will cost $750.<\/p>\n

– Pavilion Garage<\/p>\n

The Pavilion parking garage will open\u00a0soon\u00a0with 350 spaces reserved for faculty and staff. A garage permit will cost $550 and guarantees the holder a space. Faculty and staff can experience a free trial period this summer at the garage by contacting\u00a0parking@olemiss.edu<\/a>. The garage will have additional parking spaces for visitors, who will pay upon exit. The cost for visitor parking in the garage will be $2 for the first hour and $1 for each additional hour, not exceeding $10 in a 24-hour period.<\/p>\n

– Rebel Drive<\/p>\n

As Rebel Drive is extended to Fraternity Drive, the Data Center faculty-staff lot will gain about 80 parking spaces. The parallel parking spaces along Rebel Drive will be eliminated to improve bus routes and allow for a pull-over area for buses, with the possibility of sidewalks and bike lanes to be added later. Even with the elimination of those spaces, faculty-staff spaces will still have a net gain as\u00a0the Data Center lot is expanded.<\/p>\n

– Tad Smith Coliseum Lot<\/p>\n

The Tad Smith Coliseum lot will remain a faculty-staff parking area until the Pavilion is completed. Upon completion of the arena, the spaces near the Turner Center will become faculty-staff parking once again, which will, in turn, allow the Tad Smith lot to return to a commuter lot.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Other Permit Costs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daily Visitor \u2013 $3<\/p>\n

Monthly Visitor \u2013 $45<\/p>\n

Annual Visitor \u2013 $200<\/p>\n

Satellite Residential \u2013 $100<\/p>\n

Staff Low Option \u2013 $80<\/p>\n

Vendor\/Contractor \u2013 $135<\/p>\n

Retiree \u2013 $60<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
