Special Parking requests (including Contractor and Vendor Parking):

Because of possible delays in response times due to current conditions, any special parking requests/reservations will need to be arranged through TAPS in advance at taps@ucsc.edu

Contractors and vendors may park in regularly marked, non-reserved parking spaces without permits at this time.  However, those that have a need to be parked outside of regularly designated, non-reserved parking spaces (e.g. - out of space, in reserved spaces, etc) need to obtain reserved parking and associated permits.

*Project managers should verify that any current construction parking needs comply to standard campus parking requirements as of the date of this message.

Please note that due to current state and federal mandates, and in order to comply with these orders, special parking requests will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and only those deemed as essential to the operational needs of the campus will be authorized.
