NEW RECYCLING INITIATIVE IN ALL PARKING DECKS

A new parking deck custodial contract (Kaney & Lane) now includes recycling bins in the decks. The gray bins located throughout the decks have stickers on them signifying what is recyclable and what is trash.

A parking deck trash audit performed last year by Campus Services' Deena Keeler and several student volunteers netted the following results:

Parking deck audit results - a total of 278 lbs. of waste was audited (collected over three days from all parking facilities)

90% of the material collected came from fast food outlets

Of the trash, the following items were pulled out as recyclable:
- 86 lbs. of paper
- 50 lbs. of plastic
- 6 lbs. of aluminum
- 37 lbs. of wood waste/plastic film
Overall, this produced a 64.4% diversion rate away from the landfill.

Transportation & Parking Services (TPS) is very excited about this collaborative effort between Campus Services’ recycling initiative and their parking customers.

No more back-in or pull-through parking

Emory TPS is in the process of implementing license plate recognition as an enforcement tool for campus parking. All vehicles must be parked head-in so that the license plate is visible from the drive lane.

Additionally, any vehicle that you intend to bring to campus must be registered and linked to your parking permit. Please update your vehicle registration information as directed below.

You could be ticketed for either of these infractions.

Select "My permit(s)" and follow the prompts to verify or add registered vehicle information;

To remove or change vehicle information contact Parking Services at parking@emory.edu.

We appreciate your cooperation as we continue to serve the Emory community.

Out late on campus? Use SafeRide or NightOwl to get home safely

If you are out late on campus, you should always travel in groups of two or more people. If you need to walk alone and want an escort, call for a SafeRide escort.

TPS and the Emory Police Department provide SafeRide service for employees and students. The program provides a safe escort to an employee or student who feels unsafe travelling to areas of campus that are not directly served by shuttle service or for those times when the shuttle service (Nightowl) is not in operation.

The SafeRide may be a walking, golf cart or vehicle escort to your on-campus destination. SafeRide operates from 9:00 pm–5:00 am. To request SafeRide, call 404.727.7555.
