2025 Town Meeting Day and Spring Break Parking Guidance

Town Meeting Day - Tuesday March 4th 

 

Spring Break - Saturday, March 10th- Sunday, March 16th 

  • Parking regulations remain in effect during the spring break. Time and location restrictions may be modified, but all motor vehicles must have a valid permit to avoid tickets. 

  • Spring Break exceptions end with rules and regulations back in effect on March 17th, 2025.  

 

Campus Area Transportation System (CATS Bus) Shuttle Information 

  • Visit the CATS Bus page to see modified schedules and special destinations provided by the campus shuttle system just prior to and during this period. 

 

Leaving a Bicycle on Campus While Away 

  • If you have a bicycle on campus, please make sure it is secured appropriately in one of the indoor or outdoor bike rooms. 

  • Bikes left outdoors in uncovered campus racks may impede snow removal, are subject to undue wear and tear from winter weather conditions and are often vulnerable to theft. 

  • Please make sure you have registered your bike and properly locked it before leaving campus. 

 

Residential Hall Students & Employees Who Live on Campus--Leaving a Motor Vehicle on Campus While Away 

  • The upper deck above the Gutterson Garage is closed to overnight parking from 11:00 pm-7:00 am, November 15th through April 1st. 

  • To allow for snow removal and maintenance, do not leave your vehicle parked in its assigned residential area. Vehicles with valid residential permits of any color must park within the interior levels of the Garage during the period of March 10th-16th. 

  • Vehicles left on campus in Residential Lots are subject to towing without notice. 

     

Student Commuters & Commuting Employees 

  • Leaving a motor vehicle on campus while away is not allowed without prior authorization. 

  • Student Commuters and employees with valid permits are not allowed overnight parking unless authorized in advance by the university. 

  • Exceptions may be made for an additional rate by contacting University Parking Services. 

     

Daily Parking Needs for Employees and Students During the Break 

  • During the Spring Break period of March 10th-16th, all valid permits will be allowed parking in all campus parking lots, except the Beaumont Lot (3rd & 4th year med students only).

  • You still need to have an active permit to avoid being ticketed. 

  • Please watch for signs and your UVM email indicating lot closures, snow removal and maintenance, and park accordingly. 

  • Students may park in the pay-by-app/visitor spaces by payment during restricted hours.

Student Temporary Parking Requests Between Spring Break and the end of the Semester - May 9, 2025 

  • There will be no temporary parking requests granted between Spring Break and Semester Break as there is not extra space to accommodate these requests. 

  • Students with medical or mobility needs may still apply for short-term accommodations. 

  • If you haven’t booked travel home for the break periods yet, please refer to the Long Distance Travel page of our website for some transportation options.
