Football home games always bring a lot of traffic to campus as excited fans make their way to Husky Stadium by bus, rail, van, car and boat. The challenges of managing all that traffic increase when the game is on a weekday instead of a Saturday, as is the case for the upcoming UCLA game, which starts at 6 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 15.
With a later start time and the increased popularity of telecommuting, congestion isn’t expected to be as great as in the past, but here are some things to be aware of:
- Everyone coming to campus on Friday, Nov. 15, whether for the game, for classes or for work, is encouraged to use green means of transportation that day: light rail, bus, shuttles, biking, carpools or walking.
- Staff are encouraged to take advantage of public transportation options using their fully subsidized U-PASS.
Parking permit holders will receive separate emails directing them where to park on Nov. 15, but the general plan is as follows:
- East campus parking lots (E1, E12, E20, E17, E15, E8, E9, &TG/IMA) will be closed to regular parking beginning at 10 a.m. with permit holders accommodated in other campus garages and lots.
- Stadium Parking Garage, Padelford, N25, N24, & C12 will begin opening for football parking permits at 1:00 p.m.
- South Campus Garage, Central Plaza Garage, C10, & Portage Bay will begin opening to football parking at 1 p.m. and be fully open at 3 p.m.
There will be special parking arrangements made for hospital second shift workers.
