Orange Route Fall 2020 Details

UK Transportation Services is not planning to run the Orange Route Extension for the fall 2020 semester. Employees who typically park in the Orange Lot should continue to park there as normal. Working closely with UK HealthCare leadership, Transportation Services has made several small adjustments to permit allocations for this lot. These changes, coupled with an increase in employees utilizing remote work opportunities, are expected to result in reduced parking pressure on the Orange Lot.
