A new look for
Lehigh parking
permits...
Hang Tags
The parking services
office has begun issuing a
new type of parking permit
for faculty and staff this year,
which is designed to hang
from your car's rear view
mirror, rather than adhere to
the rear bumper.
Most faculty and staff can
expect to receive requests to
re-register their cars in
November or December. The
rear bumper permits will
continue to be valid until the
process is complete.
The most important
difference in the new system
is that hang tags will be
issued to people rather than
vehicles. People who typically drive the same car to
campus each day will see
little difference in the new
system. When the need
arises to use a different car,
however, the tag can be
switched. The tag may even
be used in a rental or other
temporary vehicle that is not
registered with parking

should be made to the office
with vehicle information.
Temporary permits will no
longer be needed.
"Over the past few years,
we have received an increasing number of complaints
about having to 'stick' a
permit on a vehicle's
bumper," said Chris Chris-

model cars have a painted
bumper that is an integral
part ofthe vehicle and the

some ofthe materials modern
bumpers are made of or
painted with."
The Parking Advisory
Board, which includes a group
of faculty, staff and students
representing campus organizations such as the Forum,
Student Senate, Panhellenic
Council, Inter-fraternity
Council and Residence Hall
Council discussed the permit
issue and endorsed the new
plan.
The last re-registration of
faculty and staff vehicles was
in 1985, so the board felt

cheaper than the stickers, and
because few permits will be
issued, parking services will
save more than $2,000 with
the new system.
