Active Modes of Transportation Safety Guidelines
The University requires that all vehicles be registered with the Office of Transportation and Parking Services. This requirement applies to any motor vehicle needing an official permit for parking on-campus or off-campus, as well as other active modes of transportation vehicles as defined under these guidelines. Registration for all motor vehicles and active modes of transportation vehicles helps to identify ownership and aids in recovery should the vehicle be lost or stolen.
Active Modes of Transportation Vehicle Registration
Active modes of transportation vehicles are defined as small, wheeled modes of conveyance, which include, but are not limited to, bikes, scooters, e-bikes, and e-scooters. There is no charge for the registration of an active mode of transportation vehicle.
Active Mode of Transportation Vehicle Parking
The intent of the parking guidelines is to ensure a safe environment for everyone.
- Active mode of transportation vehicles may not be parked in courtyards, on sidewalks, in front of buildings or on grass.
- Only park active mode of transportation vehicles at the nearest bike rack. If a bike rack is full, go to the next nearest bike rack.
- Never secure active mode of transportation vehicles to a light pole, sign post, railing, stairwell, bench, tree, or other undesignated areas.
- Any improperly parked or secured vehicle may be confiscated and fines may be imposed.
Small Vehicle Safety Tips
- Obey all traffic laws.
- Observe all stop lights and stop signs.
- Wear a helmet.
- Yield to pedestrians
- Obey local laws, and ordinances and follow best riding practices when riding a small vehicle. Visit the links below for more information
- Never leave accessories or loose items on your vehicle.
- Use hand signals with stopping or turning. More information on hand signals can be found below.

Boot and Tow Administrative Policy
Purpose
To provide guidelines for booting and towing vehicles parked on property owned by Wake Forest University (WFU) that are in violation of the WFU Parking Rules and Regulations.Definitions
- Booting – To disable a vehicle by attaching a vehicle immobilizer, commonly referred to as a “boot”/wheel-lock or Barnacle/windshield immobilizer.
- Scofflaw – One who habitually violates parking rules and regulations or fails to respond to notifications and citations. A habitual violator is one who has been issued 12 or more citations within a single fiscal year (July 1 — June 30), whether or not the violator pays all fines or charges associated with the citations.
Booting
- Before a boot is installed, prior notification/warning will be given to the registered driver or placed on the vehicle to be booted that several violations have occurred. These notifications are intended to allow the vehicle operator to correct improper parking behavior and contact Transportation and Parking Services.

Carpool Program Procedure and Policy
Wake Forest University encourages faculty and staff to share the ride to and from campus in an effort to reduce reliance on single-occupancy vehicular travel. Ridesharing saves money and gas and reduces air pollution.
How it Works:
Two or more employees who live near one another, or along the same commuting route, and who work similar hours, can register with the Parking and Transportation office as a carpool. Members of a carpool agree to forfeit their individual parking permits and are issued one carpool hangtag, at no cost, to be exchanged between drivers. Each individual vehicle that will use the carpool hangtag must be registered with the Parking and Transportation office. Members of the carpool can choose one location on campus to which they would like to park closest and the Parking and Transportation office will designate a carpool space as near to that location as possible. At the time of registration, each member of the carpool will be issued four (4) daily parking passes to use for an individual vehicle that can be used throughout the year to accommodate special commuting circumstances.Getting Started:
- If you haven’t already identified a rideshare partner, visit Zimride to join the secure WFU online ridesharing network to find potential carpool partners. Using your home and work addresses, you will be matched to nearby commuters with similar schedules. Your home address will never appear on match lists.
- When you receive your list of matches, you may choose whom to contact. There are no obligations or requirements.
- Once a carpool is formed, the group will designate a point of contact (POC). The designated POC will visit the Parking and Transportation office to complete an application listing all carpool members and their vehicles.
- Each individual carpool member must also visit the Parking and Transportation office and provide the following:
- WFU ID
- Proof of ownership for the vehicle he/she will drive to campus
Eligibility and Rules:
- The carpool program is open to all Wake Forest faculty and staff currently employed by
the University. - Carpool groups must consist of two (2) or more participants.
- Participants should live along a reasonable commuting path and work similar hours.
- Each carpool member must return any individual WFU parking permit(s).
- One carpool hangtag is issued and shared between the members of the carpool group.
- Carpool hangtags are not interchangeable between carpool groups.
- One member of each carpool is designated as the Point of Contact (POC).
- All vehicles used by carpool members must be registered with the Parking and
Transportation office. - Members of the carpool can choose a location on campus to which they would like to park nearest and Parking and Transportation will designate a carpool space as near to that
location as possible. - At the time of registration, each member of the carpool will be issued eight (8) daily-use hangtag parking permits for the year, or four (4) per semester if registering for one semester only. Users will clearly mark the daily-use hangtag permits with the date of use. Vehicles displaying daily-use hangtags that are not appropriately marked will be cited.
- Carpool groups can register at any point during the year and will need to renew
registration during the annual parking permit registration period in order to receive new
daily-use hangtags for the new academic year. - In the event a carpool disbands, the Parking and Transportation office must be notified. If a carpool is made up of just two (2) employees, the remaining member will have 30 days to fill the vacancy. If the vacancy remains unfilled after 30 days, the carpool will be considered void and the remaining member must return the carpool hangtag to the Parking and Transportation office and apply for an individual permit.
- Any participant providing fraudulent information in order to obtain a carpool permit will be removed from the carpool eligibility list. The vehicle displaying the fraudulently obtained permit may also be cited and booted or towed at the owner’s expense.
Emergency Ride Needs:
- In the case of a personal or family emergency, the Parking and Transportation office will
reimburse a carpool member for cab fare upon submission of a valid receipt. - In the case of scheduled appointments or other driving needs during the workday, carpool
members are encouraged to maintain a membership in Zipcar. Any of the four vehicles in the WFU shared fleet can be reserved and used as needed at a low hourly rate. - Additional daily-use hangtags are available for $5.00 each at the Parking and Transportation office.

Event Parking Reservation Policy
Effective: 01/20/2011
Revised: April 4, 2019
The purpose of this policy is to outline the process to reserve a parking facility and explain which facilities are available for reservation.
Although specific parking lots can be reserved for events, it is preferred that departments advise visitors to use the General Lots when visiting campus. A parking map of these facilities can be located here.
Reserving interior campus lots, such as lot B, results in faculty and staff being displaced from their usual parking locations. Organizations requesting parking are encouraged to consider other arrangements such as routing vehicles to parking lots with low vehicle
occupancies or to off-campus lots and shuttling visitors to campus.Should reserving a lot be necessary, a one-week notice is required. Transportation and Parking Services cannot guarantee a reserved lot with less than one week advance notice.
Lots Available for Reservations
- Davis Field (on-campus) – 60 spaces
- Lot B (on-campus) – 34 spaces
- Lot A (Outer perimeter only and on-campus) – 52 spaces
- First Assembly of God Church Lots Z3 (off-campus and located on Polo Rd. at University Parkway) – 50 spaces and would require shuttle service
- BB&T (off-campus) – Approximately 1,000 spaces and requires shuttle service
and approval from Athletics.
Davis Field Reservations
To reserve Davis Field for parking, you must request a reservation through Deacon Space. If a reservation is confirmed, University Police must be contacted so security personnel can be scheduled to staff the Davis Field parking area and to direct vehicles where / how to park. A WFU Police Services Request Form must be completed. To schedule “curb ramps” to be in place to allow vehicles to enter Davis Field requires
that a Work Order be submitted through Facilities and Campus services seventy-two (72) in advance. A Work Order can be submitted by calling 758-4255.Inclement Weather Plans
Due to the risk of inclement weather, it is required that a rain back-up plan be in place in advance of your event should Davis Field not be available. The Transportation and Parking Services Director should be contacted to schedule back-up arrangements and can be contacted at 758-2558 (campus phone) or cristaj@nullwfu.edu. It should be noted that if
Davis Field becomes unavailable and the expectation of vehicles for the event exceeds 60 vehicles, then alternate rain plans may require vehicles to be parked off-campus and shuttled back / forth to campus (See Large Events section below).The Director of Landscape should be contacted the day before the event to advise if Davis Field can be used. The Director of Landscape can be contacted at 758-6070 (campus phone), 782-6105 (mobile phone) or coffeyjb@nullwfu.edu.
On-Campus Lot Reservations (A-outer perimeter, Lot B)
To reserve an on-campus lot, you must request a reservation through Deacon Space. The Transportation and Parking Services Director should be contacted to confirm the reservation. The only on-campus surface lots that can be reserved are Lots A (outer perimeter only) and Lot B. Lot N can only be
reserved for presidential sponsored events. Once a lot is confirmed, University Police must be contacted so security personnel can be scheduled to man the lot. A WFU Police Services Request Form must be completed.Single Space Reservations
Single spaces can be reserved by completing a request form on the Transportation and Parking Services website. Once approved, Transportation and Parking Services will make arrangements for placement of a cone(s) at the appropriate lot/space(s).
Large Events
Events that may be expecting more than 60 vehicles will be required to make parking arrangements off-campus and shuttle passengers to campus. This will reduce campus vehicle congestion and assist visitors in finding a parking space much faster. Lots that
can be used for large events include First Assembly of God Church lot Z3 on Long Dr. or BB&T Field, with prior approval from Athletics.Requests for shuttle bus services can be requested from Workday.
Signs
If you are hosting a special event on-campus, it is required that you provide directional parking signage for your event. Signs should be placed to ensure all three WFU entrances provide directional signage to the appropriate on-campus lot. The event organizer is
responsible for procuring signs and installing / removing signs after each event.The preferred sign to be used are A-Frame or 24” x 18” sign on an H-frame wire stake, as they are easy to put in the ground and easier to manage when distributing. See sample below:
Below are two vendors that can assist with signs.

Main contact: Kyle Carroll | kyle@nullcarrollsigns.comMiscellaneous Parking
- Events consisting of a small number of visitors (5-10) on campus can park in Lot N (Visitor Lot) or any General Lot without requesting a reservation.
- Visitors that will be on-campus for 2-3 days must obtain a “Visitor Pass” from Transportation and Parking Services at no cost
- For events that do not require the reservation of a parking lot, but a small number of vehicles are expected on-campus, it’s still a good idea to contact Transportation and Parking Services to check on the availability of parking and other events that day.

Type: Administrative Procedure| Number: 9.1.01
Responsible Official: John Wise, VP Hospitality & Auxiliary ServicesAdministrative Procedure Statement
Over the last several years, Wake Forest University has experienced a significant increase in the demand for parking. It is imporOver the last several years, Wake Forest University has experienced a significant increase in the demand for parking. It is important that we manage this demand carefully by incentivizing alternatives to individual vehicle commuting (often referred to as SOV or single-occupancy-vehicle commuting). If we do not manage this demand, we are faced
with the expansion of surface lots at great financial expense to the University. An increase in surface lots will also result in a loss of our green spaces.After studying various alternatives, we determined that instituting a parking fee that provides incentives for faculty and staff to carpool and/or use alternative modes of transportation would best help achieve our objectives. We added a no-cost off-site parking option for those members of the Wake Forest community who choose not to pay for on-campus parking and/ or cannot take advantage of the alternatives.
Procedures
1. Employee Parking Permits
1.1 Exempt and nonexempt faculty and staff, both full-time and part-time, and WFU temporary personnel, who choose to park a motorized vehicle on the Reynolda campus, during weekday hours (8 AM to 4 PM) must obtain an annual parking hangtag. The fee to obtain a parking hang tag will be calculated on the current percentage of 0.3% of post-tax compensation from each regular paycheck over the course of the year. See Section 2 for more information on the payroll deduction process.1.2 Faculty and staff have the following parking hangtag options:
1.2.1 On-Campus Employees
Faculty and staff who work on campus may select from one of four vehicle hangtags: 1) a hangtag to park a single occupancy motorized vehicle on the Reynolda campus, 2) a parking decal to park a motorcycle or motorized scooter on the Reynolda campus, 3) a carpool hangtag for the Reynolda campus (see Section 5), or 4) a hangtag to park in a designated satellite parking lot for freeOff-Campus Employees
Faculty and staff who work at Bridger Field House, Graylyn, Human Resources (HR), Reynolda Gardens, Reynolda House, Reynolda Village, University Corporate Center (UCC), or any other satellite locations are not required to purchase a parking hangtag but must have their vehicles registered with Transportation and Parking Services in order to be issued an off-campus parking hangtag. Off-campus faculty and staff who visit campus have the following parking options: 1) park at the satellite location and ride the shuttle to the Reynolda campus for meetings; 2) if approved by the department senior leadership, purchase a parking hangtag to be able to park on campus at any time; 3) use a departmental issued hangtag and park in Lot N, any faculty-staff or general parking lot.

- No secondary fee to park at IQ
- Can park on the Reynolda Campus and at IQ
2. Payroll Deduction
2.1 Payroll deduction is required for all hourly, salaried, full and part-time faculty and staff purchasing an on-campus parking hangtag. Payment by payroll deduction protects the confidentiality of salary information, reduces clerical efforts and administrative expenses, and streamlines the registration process.2.2 Faculty and staff parking fees will be calculated as 0.3% of base compensation and will not include consideration of overtime or additional compensation. The university will also establish a maximum parking rate. An annual adjustment to the maximum parking rate may be made to correspond with the standard approved percent annual wage increase. The annualized fee will not exceed $1,044.00 for FY22.
2.3 Payroll deductions will remain in effect until the parking hangtag is relinquished and the payroll deduction is canceled. A faculty or staff member may cancel payroll deduction at any time, subject to the following limitation: The faculty or staff member must contact the University’s Transportation and Parking Services Office at least fifteen business days prior to the beginning of a payroll period for the cancellation to be effective for that payroll period. For any period in which an employee does not receive a regular paycheck, but retains parking privileges, the employee consents to the parking fee for that period being accrued and deducted from their next regular paycheck.
2.4 If the cost of a parking hangtag should change for any reason, or before a new parking hangtag is issued, faculty and staff will be given advanced written notice and the opportunity to discontinue payroll deduction election in accordance with section 2.3. If an employee does not cancel the payroll deduction election in accordance with section 2.3 after such notice, the payroll deduction election will be automatically adjusted to the new rate.
2.5 Participation in the program will cease automatically upon termination of employment with the University. The parking hangtag must be returned by the employee as part of the University’s exit interview process. Faculty and staff will not be entitled to receive a refund for any portion of the month for which they have paid for a parking hangtag and will be unable to use the hangtag because employment with the University has terminated.
2.6 Receipt of a parking hangtag and participation in this payroll deduction program are completely voluntary and not a condition of employment. You do not have to obtain a parking hangtag in order to work for the University if you will not be driving a vehicle.
3. Policies
3.1 Departments may not increase an employee’s remuneration, except in the initial rollout, in order to compensate for their parking hangtag. Similarly, departments may not offer compensation for a parking hangtag as part of a new hire bonus.3.2 Departments may not pay for an employee’s designated parking hangtag.
3.3 Dependents of faculty and staff, who are either enrolled as a student or working at WFU, are required to register their vehicles if they wish to park on the Reynolda campus. The use of a family member’s faculty/staff parking hangtag by a student is strictly prohibited. Students identified as improperly using a faculty/staff parking hangtag will be referred to WFU Judiciary Affairs as a potential honor code violation.
3.4 Faculty and staff cannot use departmental reserved spaces for personal use. Departmental reserved spaces are $500/year, per space and are used only for department vehicles or select approved vehicles that are registered with parking services.
3.5 Faculty and staff are responsible for citations, and department funds cannot be used to pay employee citation fines. Faculty and staff with unpaid citations will receive notification via email from Transportation and Parking Services with outstanding citations. Unpaid parking fines will result in the suspension of on-campus parking privileges and require the vehicle to park off-campus until all outstanding fines are paid. See section 3.14.
3.6 Faculty and staff assigned a WFU-owned vehicle, which is used on a regular basis for traveling to/from home, are required to purchase a parking hangtag.
3.7 Faculty and staff who park on campus during any portion of the day between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on weekdays are required to pay full price for a parking hangtag. There will be no prorated parking fees.
3.8 A parking hangtag issued by UCC or other parking management entities would not grant access to on-campus parking during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on weekdays.
3.9 Faculty and staff who work outside the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on weekdays are not required to pay for parking and are allowed to park on campus but must register their vehicles with Transportation and Parking Services.
3.10 Any employee, including employees with an off-campus parking hangtag, may park on campus after 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends. Vehicles with off-campus hangtags must be off campus by 8:00 a.m. on weekdays. Faculty and staff can park in all parking facilities designated General and Faculty/Staff. The only exception is Lot C, which is a 24/7 visitor lot.
3.11 Retired faculty and staff are not required to purchase a parking hangtag unless they return to work. A special parking hangtag will be issued by the Transportation and Parking Services office, which allows them to park in faculty-staff and general parking lots for free.
3.12 Individuals (non-employees) who require special or limited need parking on campus during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. may purchase a semester permit for $50. This option would be available for individuals who are auditing a class, regularly take advantage of the library or other limited on-campus parking.
3.13 Motorcycle decals are not based on a percentage of salary, but are $50 for an annual decal. Employees who purchase a parking hangtag to park an automobile on-campus may receive a motorcycle decal for free. Motorcycles will receive a parking decal and can only park in designated motorcycle spaces.
3.14 Immobilization, or booting, of a vehicle will occur if previous attempts to collect citation fees are unsuccessful, if a vehicle is not registered or if the vehicle owner is a habitual violator of parking rules and regulations.. Neither the University nor third parties engaged by the University are responsible for any damage incurred from booting. Before a boot is installed, a prior notification/warning will be given to the registered driver or placed on the vehicle to be booted that several violations have occurred. These notifications are intended to allow the vehicle operator to correct improper parking behavior and contact Transportation and Parking Services. Booting will occur for one of the following reasons and is based on each academic year:
• Accruing five (5) or more unpaid citations.
• Accruing four (4) citations for No Registration
• Accruing eleven (11) paid citations
More information on booting and towing can be found on the Transportation and Parking Services website at parking@nullwfu.edu3.15 Lot N (between Kitchin and Poteat) is reserved for visitors and authorized off-campus faculty and staff visiting the Reynolda campus for meetings. Off-campus faculty and staff must have a departmental hangtag to park in Lot N. Departmental hangtags are available for $500/year for each hangtag and are limited. The number of hangtags available for departments is determined by the scope of need and size of the department. Requests for hangtags are to be referred to the Director of Transportation and Parking Services for consideration. Departmental hangtags cannot be assigned to an individual. Off-campus faculty and staff include the following locations: Bridger Field House, Graylyn, HR, Reynolda Gardens, Reynolda House, Reynolda Village, UCC and the Medical Center.
3.16 Off-campus faculty and staff whose job requires them to travel to campus infrequently or on a time-sensitive basis have the options to: 1) use the shuttle system, 2) park in Lot N, faculty-staff or general parking lots with a departmental parking hangtag, 3) If approved by the department head, purchase their own on-campus parking hangtag allowing them to park in any campus lot.

Article VI Shuttle and Transportation Service
6.1 Shuttle Service
Transportation and Parking Services provides varied shuttle services to meet the needs of students, faculty and staff.
Shuttle stop times and scheduled days of operation for the academic year can be found online at http://parking.wfu.edu/ride-the-wake/ . In addition, you can download the TransLoc Rider GPS App to track the shuttle’s locations. There is limited shuttles during the summer months. Please refer to the website for summer scheduled shuttles.
6.1.1 No alcoholic beverages are to be brought onto the shuttle bus at any time.
6.1.2 For the safety of other passengers and the driver, shuttle drivers are permitted to remove passengers because of, but not limited to, excessive intoxication, displaying inappropriate behavior or vulgar language.
6.2 Shuttle Rentals
Transportation and Parking Services offers shuttle bus rentals to departments sponsoring a university event.
Requests for this service should be made at least one (1) week in advance. To request shuttle transportation rentals, visit Workday.
6.3 ZIP Cars
Wake Forest University offers a car-sharing program known as ZIP cars. Any licensed driver can rent these vehicles for a few hours or a whole day. ZIP car brochures are located in the Transportation and Parking Services office or the Campus Office of Sustainability, or you can go online to http://www.zipcar.com/wfu for more information.
The 2021-2022 Parking Rules and Regulations have several changes. It is necessary that you familiarize yourself with this year’s information. The control of traffic and parking on campus is required to protect the safety of students, faculty, staff and visitors and permit the conduct of University business. Lack of space is not a valid excuse for violating parking regulations. The regulations stipulate where parking is authorized rather than where it is improper to park. The fact that a person parks in violation of any regulation or law and does not receive a citation does not mean that no violation has occurred. Responsibility for finding a legal parking space rests with the motor vehicle operator. A parking space is not guaranteed near where one works, resides or attends class.
These regulations have been established by the Transportation and Parking Services Advisory Committee and approved by the president of the University. All parking fines must be paid. Unpaid parking fines may prohibit you from registering, operating or parking any motor vehicle on University property.
Liability Limitations: Wake Forest University assumes no responsibility for damage to vehicles parked on or while being operated on campus property or for the personal contents within the vehicle. Vehicles operators should refrain from leaving valuables in their vehicle, and they should lock all windows and doors.

Service Lane Parking Policy and Vendor Pass Request Procedures
To: WFU Parking Decal Requestors
From: Jim Alty
Subject: Service Lane (SL) Parking Permit and Vendor Passes
WFU has specifically identified “Service Vehicle Only” parking spaces to allow for safe and timely delivery of various services to on-campus buildings and sites. Vendor Passes and SL parking permits are intended to identify vendor vehicles and certain WFU employee personal vehicles that are authorized to park in service vehicle parking spaces. Designed WFU vehicles do not require a SL parking permit to park in service vehicle spaces or loading areas. Vendors that provide regular ongoing services to WFU departments are issued a Vendor Pass that allows parking in service lanes. Vendors can request a Vendor Pass; however, requests will be verified by the Parking Management Supervisor who has the authority to approve/deny requests by vendors.
Requests by WFU employees for SL permits must be submitted in writing and approved by the Parking and Transportation Manager. Requests must specify the servicing requirement(s) of their position that would entitle the employee to an SL permit. Requests disapproved by the P&T Manager can be appealed to the AVP of F&CS for additional consideration. Appeals must include additional justification that addresses the reason for approval of an SL permit.
