Reminder: Charter Buses on Campus
If you have an event where you will be having any number of charter buses on campus, please coordinate their visit with Parking Services. Even one charter bus needs to be accommodated for drop-off, pickup, and parking. Please remember charter buses should not be advised to pick up or drop off at Rappahannock River Lane or the Sandy Creek Transit Center. Both locations are transit hubs, and there is not sufficient space to allow charter bus access. Parking Services is happy to work with you to find a location and make arrangements; please include them in your event-planning process. They can be reached at separk12@gmu.edu or 703-993-2065.
Reminder: Daily Complimentary Parking Passes
If you participate in carpooling, vanpooling, Commuter Choice, and Bike Commuter Choice, eligible faculty and staff receive complimentary daily parking passes as part of these programs.
Please remember that when you use daily passes, they are meant for one day of parking, so you must include a date on the pass when you use it or risk a parking ticket. Parking and Transportation doesn’t want this to happen to anyone, so please take a moment and put the complete date on the daily pass you are using.
