Students,<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With the beginning of classes next week, vehicle traffic will be at very high levels.<\/p>\n

Parking on campus requires a parking permit at all times. Please purchase your permit<\/a> today. Permits are active at the time of purchase. However, once it is received it is to be displayed at all times.<\/p>\n

We thank you for your patience during this high-volume period. We understand that parking may pose a challenge during the first few weeks of the semester, but please be assured that we are working diligently to provide ample service to students, faculty, and staff.<\/p>\n

The following are helpful hints that may assist you in making your parking decisions before entering the campus:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Become familiar with the University\u2019s Parking Map<\/a> before coming to campus, as we have instituted some changes to our surface lots.<\/li>\n
  2. Generally, the lots in the core of the campus are at full capacity from 9:00 am to about 4:00 pm, Mondays-Thursdays.\u00a0 If your arrival to campus will be after 9:30 a.m. and before 3:00 p.m. on Mondays-Thursdays, we strongly suggest that you drive directly to Lot 60 and 61 and take a shuttle bus directly to the core of the campus. We find that students who park in these lots and take a shuttle bus to University Hall arrive at their classes just as quickly as those who park in CarParc Diem and walk to class.<\/li>\n
  3. Follow us on Twitter @MSUParking<\/a>. We provide regular updates to provide you with the most accurate reporting.<\/li>\n
  4. Download the Parker App<\/a>. We provide a live feed of lot closures and space availability to better assist with maneuvering around the campus. Accessing the App will assist with making parking decisions before coming to campus.<\/li>\n
  5. Our shuttle buses are now equipped with Nextbus technology. Real-time bus arrival information is available via the website or your mobile device for buses that service your shuttle stop. Visit the Shuttle Services website<\/a> for more information on shuttle schedules<\/a> and use Nextbus<\/a> to help navigate the University Shuttle System.<\/li>\n
  6. Consider leaving your car at home and try using public transit<\/a>. Montclair State University is situated between two train stations and is served by multiple bus lines; this makes public transit an easy and environmentally-friendly choice. As an added incentive, full-time students are eligible for a 25% discount<\/a> on monthly NJTransit passes!<\/li>\n
  7. Try carpooling. Use Montclair State’s Carpool Directory<\/a> to connect with other members of the community who can share rides to and from campus.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Please note that this congestion is not consistent throughout the year, traffic and parking settle into a routine after the initial few weeks of the semester.\u00a0 If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us parking@mail.montclair.edu<\/a><\/p>\n

    Best wishes for a productive 2013-2014 Academic Year!<\/p>\n
