Summer Parking Control, Bus Service to Start May 9

LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 6, 2016) — During the summer months, University of Kentucky Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) implements some changes to campus parking and transit operations due to the reduced campus population.

Summer parking control will begin Monday, May 9. While all lots will remain on control, permit holders will experience more flexibility in student parking areas. Most university student parking lots will be controlled for any valid permit during the summer months. The exceptions are the R6, R16, R17 and R18 parking areas, which will remain on control for their specific permit types.

A summer parking control map can be found at www.uky.edu/pts/parking-info_parking-maps.

PTS will be operating the Summer Route from Monday, May 9, through Thursday, June 30, with the exception of Monday, May 30. Service will run 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. As announced on April 20, starting on Friday, July 1, the Blue, White and Green Routes will run for the remainder of summer, on a limited schedule of 6:45 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. The expansion to year-round operations on these routes will ensure consistency of service.

More information about all the bus routes, including maps and schedules, can be found at www.uky.edu/pts/buses-and-shuttles_campus-shuttles. Campus buses can be tracked in real time using the TransLoc Rider app on iPhone and Android devices, allowing for users to plan for delays caused by traffic, accidents or inclement weather.
