Transit, Parking and Traffic Committee

Appointed by the Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration

The Transit, Parking and Traffic Committee makes recommendations on transit operations, parking and traffic rules and regulations, parking facilities, traffic signals, traffic flow, and other matters related to streets, vehicular and pedestrian traffic, and parking. The committee recommends priorities for the expenditure (for new parking lot construction and resurfacing existing lots) of money received from parking registration fees and penalty charges. It receives and reviews petitions and suggestions on these matters from other university agencies and individuals.

Membership consists of seven faculty members and four staff members, these 11 to include the chairperson of the Public Safety Council (faculty member), the chairperson of the Traffic Appeals Court; and the chair of the Staff Senate Parking Committee (staff member). In addition, membership will include one representative each from the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, Facilities Management, University Housing, the University of Arkansas Police Department, Student Affairs, and the Transit and Parking Department; five students, one of which will be the president of Residents Interhall Congress, and, ex officio and non-voting, the associate vice chancellor for business affairs.

The chairperson is elected from the members.
