Section 1. The parties recognize that while limited parking resources on campus must be shared by varied constituencies including students, staff and faculty, the University has traditionally provided GAs with more extensive parking privileges than provided to other students as well as access to some employee lots. The University shall continue to provide such enhanced parking to GAs pursuant to this agreement. The University will allow GAs to purchase 1) a GA Area 2 parking permit which allows access to commuter (not Premium Commuter) lots, Area 2 parking lots, and 107 GA only designated spaces in Lot N; or 2) a GA garage permit which allows access to a designated garage and the same lots as a GA Area 2 permit. If Lot N is eliminated, reduced, or reconfigured such that 107 GA designated spaces cannot be maintained, the University shall designate an equivalent number of GA designated spaces in a similar location on the main Storrs campus within a one (1) mile walking distance radius of central campus (i.e. the library) as determined by the University. The Union cannot grieve or arbitrate the location of the GA designated spaces.
The parties recognize that the specific access arrangements and areas covered by GA parking permits may change as factors such as construction and program changes affect the overall UConn parking plan. In the event an Area 2 or commuter lot is eliminated, reduced by more than 45%, or reconfigured, the University shall meet with the union to discuss mitigation options. The University shall communicate with GA permit holders at least 30 days in advance, if disruption is known, with the following information: the dates and anticipated level of disruption (i.e. number of spots anticipated to be closed), suggested alternatives to parking lots, and mitigation plans.
Section 2. The University retains the right to establish and change parking rates, open and close lots, and modify parking conditions and regulations. The University shall provide 30 days advance written notice to the Union of any proposed change in parking rates or regulations affecting GAs. If the University issues a ticket to a GA due to such changes without prior 30-day notification to the Union, the University shall waive all fees for the ticket.
Section 3. The parking rate charged GAs for a GA Area 2 parking permit shall be equivalent to Fifty Percent (50%) of the full parking rate charged for an Area 2 employee parking permit. The parking rate charged for a GA garage permit shall be the employee garage rate.
Section 4. If the University increases the full rate for Area 2 parking permits in any given year, such increase shall not exceed the annual percentage increase in faculty base salary exclusive of merit for faculty.
Section 5. For GAs whose assigned duties require it, based on appropriate documentation from a supervisor, the University shall make good-faith effort to provide overnight parking access in the area nearest to their worksite.
Section 6. GAs who purchase parking permits in accordance with this Article at the campus at which they are primarily employed shall have the parking permit honored in commuter and Area 2 parking lots at other campuses when traveling to such locations for University business.
Section 7. GAs shall have access to all accessible parking spaces available in accordance with applicable law regardless of permit type. A GA with a GA Area 2 parking permit, using an accessible parking permit, shall be permitted to park at any accessible designated parking spot, without incurring additional costs.
Section 8. GAs shall have the right to pay for parking permits through bi-weekly payroll deductions over the course of their appointment.
Section 9. The Transportation Advisory Committee may meet to discuss and receive comments regarding any proposed changes in parking rates. The University agrees to appoint to the Transportation Advisory Committee up to two members of the bargaining unit who shall be designated by the Union.
Section 10. The Union-Management Committee may consider and make recommendations to the University concerning how parking and transit services can be improved for the benefit of GAs.
Section 11. During closures of Dairy Bar facilities, GAs shall have access to Dairy Bar customer parking spots.
