University Parking Regulations
The Policy and Procedure is available online at Governing Documents.
Parking
Part I: Reason for Regulation
1.1 The University of Manitoba recognizes that at any given time there are a large number of Motor Vehicles and bicycles driving and parking on campus. In order for the University to maintain orderly conduct of parking of Motor Vehicles, Parking Regulations must be established. Furthermore, as an ancillary service, parking must be operated on a cost recovery basis. These regulations set out the rules, fees and remedies available in association with parking on University Property, and they apply to all staff, students, and the general public. The University of Manitoba Act, which is an act of legislature, empowers the University of Manitoba to govern parking on University Property and to make parking regulations. This includes fees and charges for parking violations and actions taken for failure to pay fees and charges.
