CityLYNX Gold Line

CATS has not yet announced when the Gold Line will begin regularly serving local residents but they are currently in a testing phase, so you may see streetcars periodically.

CATS replaced the old trolley-style streetcars with more modern ones that operate more quietly, so please be sure to use crosswalks and look both ways before crossing the street, especially in the travel areas used by the new streetcars.

During testing, it’s important for all motorists who are accessing and visiting Central Campus to remember not to park on the streetcar tracks or on the side of the road, especially along Elizabeth Ave. Cars parked on streetcar tracks or incorrectly parked are subject to a citation and being towed.

PARKING DECALS

Student parking decals are now available at each campus’s Cashiering Office. Students will receive one parking decal per semester. Decals may be picked up after tuition is paid in full. The Cashier’s Business office hours on all campuses are 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Parking decals must be displayed by Friday, September 17th.

CENTRAL CAMPUS PARKING DECKS

Please view the Central Campus map for locations of parking decks and lots. Here are the physical addresses of the parking decks at Central Campus:

Fall 2020 Parking Decals Not Required for Fall Semester

Welcome to the new semester!

Tickets will not be issued to students who must return to campus for in-person instruction during this time. Keep in mind, parking will still be enforced so be mindful of marked signage  — spaces that require a handicap permit, visitor spaces, and designated maintenance vehicle or administration spaces — while on campus.

Remember, the vast majority of students should not come to campus on August 10. Your instructor(s) will let you know the exact dates for any on-campus activities, if any, during the semester.
