Fall 2008 Parking Regulation Changes and Information
The Parking and Transportation Services office has been diligently implementing various strategic recommendations resulting from last years effort with the Comprehensive Parking and Transportation Strategy. If you did not have the opportunity to join in the various public meetings, please review the Strategy documents. Below are the resulting parking regulation changes, new programs and other information you will need for Fall 2008.
NEW – RIT Rideshare Program – The Parking and Transportation Services office has developed a quick carpooling platform for your use via myCourses called RIT RideShare.

For more details on how to join see RIT RideShare
NEW – RIT Bicycle Program – In cooperation with the RIT Cycling Club, additional bicycle amenities and bike routes will be available throughout campus.
