FREQUENTLY ASKED PARKING RELATED QUESTIONS
1. I am a Freshman resident student. I want to have my car at school for
a few days. What do I do? Who do I contact?
Freshman students residing on campus are restricted from having a vehicle at
Longwood. In some instances, a Freshman may be granted permission to have
a car however the student must have a valid reason for such a request. The
Parking Services Manager will review the student’s written request and will
render a decision. A written permission letter will be issued to applicants with
accepted situations. Most permission’s are granted on a temporary basis with a
specific timeframe. Parking for a Freshman with permission to have a car at
school will be located at the playing fields at Lancer Park. You can contact the
Parking Manager, Mrs. Rice, at this address: [email protected]
2. I am scared to go to my vehicle alone at night or to walk back to my
dorm alone when I return to school late. Can Campus Police help me?
Each lot has an emergency phone located near the entrance. This phone rings
directly into the Longwood University Police Station. Tell the Dispatcher that
you would like an escort back to the campus as you are alone. Give a brief
description and location of your car. Return to the vehicle and lock your
doors. When the police vehicle arrives, you may exit your car. Also, the
Student Safety Organization will be happy to walk with any student to locations on campus. Please note that this service is provided when possible and
that the dispatcher will advise you if an escort is unavailable.

hours to repair or remove the vehicle from the lot. Remember to call the office
each day to give a progress report!! If you do not contact us, you will not
receive the grace period!

jurisdiction. Longwood Police can assist you with vehicle unlocks if your car is
on Longwood property, to include Lancer Park, Longwood Landings, and
Longwood Village. You will be asked to sign a liability waiver releasing the
officer from responsibility should the lock system be damaged. Remember he is
helping you at your request! Please note that in some of the newer model cars,
especially those with side impact air bags, we may decline to make an unlock
attempt. In such cases you will be referred to contact AAA (if you are a member) or a locksmith.

priate decal zone. You will not be allowed to park overnight in a prohibited or reserved area, or improper decal zone. It is not recommended to
loan your car to another student to perform designated driving duty

that individual. The freshman is not to use the car unless necessity requires it.
12. I lost my decal. How do I get it replaced? Do I have to pay for it
again?
Report the lost decal to the Parking Services office immediately. You will be
able to replace the lost decal free of charge if you have your original receipt. If
you do not have the original receipt, you will have to pay a $10.00 replacement fee at Cashiering and show that receipt to obtain the new permit.

do I do about decal placement?
A situation like this requires special instructions. Contact the Parking Services
Manager to discuss decal placement.
14. My car broke down while I was at home. I had to drive my parents
car back to school. This car does not have a decal. I will have the car for
a week. Do I have to buy a new decal?

needed for longer than one week you will need a one month temporary permit
at the cost of $50.00. Special circumstances may be taken into consideration
by the Parking Services Manager.

(Sharing your decal with friends or putting it on another vehicle that is not
registered as yours.)
f ) Having your vehicle at school as a Freshman student without obtaining
written permission from the University for this privilege.
There are other violations that could result in Honor Charges however this
listing should give you an idea.
16. Who is allowed to park in the Brock Commons Garage?
The parking garage is for the Faculty and Staff to use Monday through Friday
and whenever they need to report to work on weekends. It is also to be used
by persons attending special events and activities on the campus. Students
however, are restricted from parking in the garage at all times. This includes
evening hours and weekends.
17. I live at Lancer Park and have a Lancer Park decal on my car.
Can I park my car on the main campus?
Sorry, no. Lancer Park residents must keep their vehicles in the parking
area at Lancer Park. It is strongly encouraged that students make use of
the shuttle bus service rather than moving their cars. This service operates
on a regular schedule. See the schedule posted on our website. (Student
athletes in Division 1 sports residing at Lancer Park are exceptions to this
rule.) Freshman parkers at Lancer Park are NOT permitted to park on
the main campus at any time.
Students with Lancer Park permits WILL be allowed to park in
Commuter spaces at night between 5:30pm and 2:30am in order to
use campus resources or attend club functions.
18. I am a resident student living at Longwood Landings. Where do
I park?
Living at Longwood Landings is the same as living in a residence hall on
the main campus. You will be assigned a resident student parking permit
and will be allowed to park in any resident student parking lots. There
are two lots immediately in the area of Landings, the South Lot by
Putney Street; and the Virginia Street Lot at the rear of the complex. In
addition, students may use the Vernon Street Lot. Please avoid parking in
the retail space of Midtown Square as these spaces are not controlled by
the University and towing is likely to occur.
19. I am a resident at Longwood Village. Where do I park?
As a resident student located at Longwood Village, you will be considered
as a commuter in relation to your parking assignment on campus. You
will purchase and receive a commuter decal and park in the appropriate
commuter areas.
20. I heard from other students that you can park anywhere on weekends, is this correct?
No. . Liberal parking at night and on weekends is not allowed.
Students will be required to remain in the decal zone appropriate for the
decal displayed on their car. Visitors will need guest passes and will be
assigned parking locations. Decal zones as well as prohibited zones such as
10 minute loading zones, handicap spaces, 2 hour visitor spaces, etc. will
continue to be enforced 24 hours a day, seven days a week as usual.
21. How can I contact Parking Services if I need assistance or have
questions?
There are several ways to reach us:
*Email us at: [email protected] or [email protected]
*Call us at: 434-395-2612
*Visit us in Cashiering at Lancaster Hall
*After hours contact Police Dispatch: 434-395-2091
22. Where can I find the on-line registration for obtaining a permit?
Go to the myLongwood site and click on the Campus Life tab. Scroll to
the bottom of the page and you will see the vehicle registration section on
the left side. Follow the instructions on each screen. Payments can be
made by credit card using this system or you can simply reserve the permit
to pay in person at Cashiering.
23. I decided not to buy a decal as I live within walking distance to
campus. Can I park my car in a visitor space on those times I do
drive over?
NO! The rules are very specific in terms of what the visitor spaces are for.
The 2 hour visitor spaces may not be used by any student, employee, or
faculty member at any time. These spaces are for true visitors to the campus. Just because you did not get a permit does not exempt you from the
rules. You would need to come in for a temporary permit or call in to
report your presence on campus. As you live off campus, you would be
considered a commuter student.
24. I see there are several two hour parking spaces on the campus. Is
it okay for me to park there if I do not park longer than the time posted?
Sorry, no. These are visitor parking spaces. Students, faculty, and staff
may not park in a two hour space at any time. Doing so will result in a
parking ticket.

1. A Carpool will consist of 2 to 4 persons who agree to travel to and from work together in one vehicle.
2. Members of the carpool must be identified and one member of the group will be designated the carpool manager for that group. The
carpool participation form will be completed by the carpool manager and submitted to the Parking Services Office.
3. Each member of the carpool will give to the Parking Services Office the vehicle information for one car per person to be used with the
carpool permit as the group members rotate driving. This information will be part of the carpool participation form.
4. The carpool will receive one parking permit at a discounted flat rate, the cost to be divided amongst the group members. This flat rate
will be $100.00. This fee will be paid at the Cashiering Office in Lancaster Hall.
5. Each member of the carpool will be given 12 temporary use punch permits. These will be used by the individuals on those days in which they are unable to carpool due
to outside obligations. However, the employee can decide
how and when to use them. The pass will require that the
month and day be punched from the pass to validate it for
the day it is used.
6. The carpool vehicle will continue to park in
Faculty/Staff parking zones.
7. The carpool manager is responsible for informing the
Parking Services Office of any change in the carpool participants. Should a member drop out of the program,
they will return to a salary based parking fee and will
receive their own permit. If they require payroll deduction, the appropriate paperwork will be required. Should
a new member join, this information must be submitted
so that the payroll deduction will cease for that person. It
will be the decision of the group how to handle the new
member’s portion of the permit cost.
Approved by Parking Advisory Committee 6/28/11.

Walk Smart
Walk Smart, Know the Law and Safe Practices
Walk the Line
Pedestrians are not allowed to walk on roadways when sidewalks are available. If there is no sidewalk, pedestrians are required to stay to the extreme left edge of
the road and walk facing the oncoming traffic.
Sidewalks
Pedestrians have the right of way on sidewalks. Sidewalks are constructed to keep pedestrians safe. Bicyclists should ride more slowly and be more alert on sidewalks — particularly when approaching a pedestrian. When passing a pedestrian when on a sidewalk, the bicyclist preferably should be traveling no faster than
the pedestrian. The bicyclist should give an audible warning such as “bike on your left!,” and wait for the pedestrian to move over.
Motorists should look for pedestrians and bicyclists, and yield to them when turning across sidewalks. When crossing a sidewalk, motorists should scan enough
of the sidewalk to see higher-speed bicyclists.
Even though they have the right of way on sidewalks, pedestrians can avoid crashes by paying attention to motor vehicle and bicycle traffic.
Pedestrians should make eye contact with motorists and bicyclists to be sure to be seen when crossing streets, sidewalks, crosswalks, paths, and driveways.
Crosswalks
Pedestrians are required by law to cross at crosswalks whenever possible.
Crosswalks may be marked or painted on the street. In addition, crosswalks occur wherever sidewalks meet the street and where streets intersect. This type of crosswalk is called an “unmarked crosswalk” in the Code of Virginia.
Crossing at crosswalks allows pedestrians to cross in locations where motorists expect them. However, crashes often occur at intersections, so motorists and
pedestrians must be alert.
Scan and Cross
Before crossing, stop, look LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT (and over the shoulder) for approaching and turning traffic.
Many people cross streets in midblock locations. In some locations this is both legal and safer than other locations. Pedestrians crossing midblock should use
high levels of watchfulness and care, since many motorists may not be looking for them. Especially in urban areas, motorists expect pedestrians to cross at crosswalks, and pedestrians should expect motorists and bicyclists to watch out for them.
Slow down!
Don’t rush or speed. Motorist speeding is a major factor in crashes with pedestrians. Stepping in front of moving vehicles is another major cause. Take the time
to keep yourself and others safe.
Cycling Laws
Bicycles have the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicles when
ridden on the road in Virginia.
• Follow rules that apply to motor vehicles
• Obey all traffic signs, signals, lights, and markings
• Ride on the right, with traffic
• Unless the travel lane is too narrow to share with a motor vehicle, stay as far to the right as safely possible or use the shoulder
• Ride no more than two bicyclists side-by-side
• Ride single-file when moving slower than motor vehicle traffic
• Obey signs that restrict riding on Interstate highways and on limited access roads
• Yield to pedestrians
• Call to pedestrians when approaching from behind and to pass
• Use hand signals for turns and stops
• When turning, use motor vehicle turn lanes
• Keep one hand on the handlebars when carrying articles
• Don’t carry adults on bicycles not built for more than one
• Carry children securely in special seats or trailers
• Don’t wear earphones in both ears
• Use white headlamps visible from 500 feet when bicycling between sunset and sunrise
• Use rear reflectors at night; if using roads with speed limits of 35 mph or more, use a red taillight visible from 600 feet
• Be sure brakes work properly
• Stop when involved in a crash that involves injury or damage
• Report name & other pertinent information to police or others involved in a crash
• Report property accidents to police within 24 hours
• Obey local ordinances for riding on sidewalks, wearing helmets, and having a bicycle license
Bicycle Registration at Longwood
Beginning in August 2013, Longwood Police Department is requiring that all bicycles, mopeds
or scooters (vehicles that do not require registration through DMV) that are brought to the
campus be registered. The campus includes Lancer Park, Longwood Landings, and Longwood
Village. This process will be handled through the Parking Services Office at no cost to the customer. Located in your parking booklet you will find the registration form to complete for
your bicycle. Once you have completed the form you can contact the Parking Office (434395-2660) to set up a time to bring the vehicle over for processing. Periodically the parking
and police departments will host bike fairs. This is also a time when you can register your
bicycle as well as receive important information regarding cycling and biking equipment. Please remember to bring a good lock with you and to keep your
bike secured to any of the bike racks located throughout the campus.
