SNOW REMOVAL PARKING

Off-Campus Faculty, Staff & Students

To facilitate the City of Troy's snow removal program, if your car is on a City street, it is in danger of being towed. The RPI Parking Office is once again this year offering a free Snow Emergency/Removal Permit which will allow off-campus students, faculty and staff living in Troy the option of parking in the North Lot until 6 a.m. on Friday, March 11, 2005 for the current snow removal effort. Remember the permit is free of charge.

Snow Emergency/Removal Permits are allowed to park in the last four rows of the North Lot at the northwest corner. During Snow Removals the parking entry gates to North Lot will be in the up position.

If you already have a Rensselaer permit you do not need to obtain a Snow Emergency/Removal Permit. Your permit is already recognized during Snow Emergencies/Removals. If you need a Snow Emergency/Removal Permit please stop by the Parking Office located in the Visitors Information Center between the hours of 8:30a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
Monday-Friday. Thank you.

American Saying

“March comes in like a Lion and out like a Lamb”. This sentence is how many people refer to March, and this year it really fits. Winter is not over yet.
