Parking Policy
Lancaster University's Parking Policy supports the University's Travel Plan. It provides the framework for managing parking facilities for the benefit of both our stakeholders and the environment. The policy helps to ensure that parking spaces are available for those that need them and outlines rules and arrangements for using parking at the University.
The Parking Policy is organised into one Principal Document and other smaller documents for specific parking users and arrangements.
