SAFS Pickup Truck Reservations

You can create a one-time reservation online (must see front desk for reoccurring events). A UW budget number is required for all truck usage. You can pick up the key from the front desk M-F 8:00-12:00 and 1:00-5:00. The truck is located in parking lot W35. The gas card can be used at any gas station but we ask that if you are in the U-district please fill up at motorpool located at 4549 25th Ave NE. Note: reservation calendars are for SAFS members only and require intranet login.

Parking a UW Vehicle Off Campus

1. University vehicles are not exempt from parking fees at parking lots.
2. Within the Seattle city limits, UW vehicles with exempt plates may park at parking meters for the time period indicated on the meter, free of charge. Violations may be issued for exceeding meter limits.
3. Operators are personally responsible for parking violations and towing and/or storage resulting from parking violations.

Parking a UW Vehicle On Campus

University vehicles may be parked in designated parking areas on campus without purchasing a UW parking permit. However, there are areas on campus where parking may result in a citation. These areas include:

• Areas with official signs prohibiting parking
• Within 15 feet of a fire hydrant
• In fire lanes
• Wheelchair and disability lots and stalls
• Stalls and lots specifically designated for other departments
• "Reserved" stalls
• Load zones for over the posted time period
• In front of any gate, ramp, or other area where parking would block access. In these situations the vehicle may be towed.

If unsure of where to park a University vehicle, please contact Parking Services, 206-685-1543, parking@u.washington.edu.
