Contractors
Contractor
On-site parking for contractors working at University buildings or grounds is extremely limited. The U-M Project Manager can facilitate contractor parking arrangements with Parking & Transportation Services.
Daily permits are available at the PTS office located at 508 Thompson Street. Permits are restricted to locations identified by PTS, based on space availability. Permit costs are determined by the parking location.
Unless you already have an account established with PTS, you must make full payment for permits. If you would like to open an account, please call (734) 764-8291, and we will be glad to help you.
For long-term construction projects, parking is limited either to fenced construction laydown areas or to assigned areas. In some cases, permits may be required in laydown areas; this will be determined by PTS and the University's construction manager at the time a laydown is established.
Sidewalk
Parking on a University sidewalk is an option only when it is critical to the completion of a job, and the following rules must be followed:
- A minimum aisle of six feet must be maintained. Cones must be placed at each end of the vehicle.
- If a six-foot aisle cannot be maintained or if the entire sidewalk must be blocked, barricades must be placed at the nearest pedestrian crossing posted with "Sidewalk Closed - Cross Here" signage.
- Driveways that cross sidewalks must remain open at all times.
The City of Ann Arbor must approve City sidewalk closures in advance. Phone (734) 994-2674, then press '9' for assistance.
