Traffic & Parking Regulations

OBJECTIVE:

These regulations are subject to revision by the Traffic and Parking Authority.

(APA revised March 2006)

General Policy

These regulations are established by the Traffic and Parking Authority of The University of Tennessee as directed by resolution of The University of Tennessee Board of Trustees on June 20, 1968. They are applicable to all students, faculty, staff, and visitors on the Knoxville campus of The University of

Tennessee. Students are required to obey these regulations as a condition of attendance at the University, and faculty and staff (hereinafter referred to as staff) members are required to obey them as a condition of employment.

The purpose of these regulations is to facilitate the safe and orderly conduct of university business and provide parking facilities in support of this function within the limits of available space.

Parking and Transit Services and the UT Police Department are responsible for implementation and enforcement of these regulations. Records are maintained by Parking and Transit Services, 865-9746031.

The university shall have no responsibility for loss or damage to any vehicle or its contents operated or parked on the Knoxville campus of The University of Tennessee.

Regulations are enforceable seven (7) days a week, twenty-four (24) hours a day, including holidays and breaks.

Violations of these regulations will be cited through appropriate channels for disciplinary action.

Registration of Vehicles

  1. All motor vehicles operated by staff and students in connection with their employment or attendance at The University of Tennessee must be registered with the Parking and Transit Services Department. Registration alone does not confer any parking privileges at any time on campus. Registration improves the security of campus, identifies the operator as affiliated with the University and provides for more expedient notification in the event of any emergency. THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE FOR REGISTRATION.
  2. Transferable registration hanging tags will be issued to staff and students registering their vehicles. To be valid, these tags must be clearly visible and hanging from the rear view mirror of the registrant’s vehicle.
  3. Registration tags are not parking permits and do not confer any parking privileges at any time on campus.
  4. Parking at University Apartments requires a special registration tag that is to be obtained from the Resident Manager’s Office of the apartment complex of residency. This tag will authorize parking at a particular housing unit only. Parking in University lots on the Agriculture and Main Campuses will require the appropriate staff or student parking permit, which may be obtained at the Parking and Transit Services Department at 2121 Stephenson Drive.
  5. Vehicle registration must be renewed at the beginning of each Fall Semester and is valid until the beginning of the following Fall Semester so long as the registrant remains a student or a University employee.
  6. Staff vehicle registrations must be accomplished within 72 hours of joining the University Staff and within 72 hours of acquiring a vehicle. A temporary permit is required during this initial 72hour period. Staff vehicle registration must be renewed each year at the beginning of the parking year (August 1 through July 31).
  7. Student vehicle registration must be accomplished by the first day of class or within 72 hours of acquiring a vehicle. A temporary permit is required during this 72-hour period.
  8. Lost or stolen registration tags (E tags, K tags) will be replaced without charge.
  9. The person to whom a vehicle is registered is responsible for that vehicle and all violation citations issued thereto. If the person operating the vehicle is other than the registrant when a violation is committed, both he/she and the registrant may be cited.
  10. Specific EXPIRATION DATES are indicated on each registration tag.
  11. Ownership of vehicle registration is not transferable.
