University of Sunderland Travel Plan Update Student Student Parking Parking Permits Permits The Student Pay and Display Permit is only available to students who don't live in University Halls of Residence. Displaying a valid Pay and Display permit entitles the student to the discounted rate of 20p per hour or £1 per day. Students cannot park in staff only car parks. Students wishing to park their vehicles at their contracted Halls of Residence must apply for a Residential Permit. . Displaying this permit entitles the holder to free parking at their contracted Hall but parking on the University campuses between 08:00 and 17:00 is not permitted as it is considered that students do not need to travel by car since the University provides the free Campus Bus service. Residential students are therefore not eligible for a Student Pay aand Display Permit. Utilisation of Parking Parking Income Income Any ny parking income surplus is invested by the University on travel and environmental initiatives and this has taken place since the introduction of the new pay and display parking system in 2006. This parking income surplus is currently used to fund the following: • University Campus Bus; • New Sunderland Shuttle Electric Bu Bus s Service (in partnership with Nexus and Sunderland City Council); • University of Sunderland £40 Metro staff and student travel pass; • A University wide roll out of a recycling programme which included new recycle bins and hand dryers; and • Update of f the University Travel Plan and Parking Strategy Strategy. The parking income surplus is expected to increase year on year in the short to medium term, as the cost of parking at the he University increases. The proposed increase ease in parking costs is discussed in more detail in the Updated University Parking Strategy Strategy.

University of Sunderland Travel Plan Update Visitor and Contractor Parking Parking Policy including Pick up p / / Drop Drop off off Points Points Prior to September 2006, all visitors at the University received free parking via the issue of a permit by Schools and Services which was displayed in vehicles. The high demand for parking and the introduction of pay and display meant offering free visitor parking was no longer appropriate. Therefore, the University reviewed its visitors parking policy and established the following visitor parking categories: • Reserved Corporate / Board of Governor Parking – Free, pre booked via Executive Receptionist, reserved parking in University Square; • Short Course Student Parking – Need a permit and pay & display charge of 20p per hour up to maximum ximum of £1.00 per day; • Visitor Single Day Free Parking Permit – Free but at the discretion of individual school / service; • General Visitor Parking – Payable by utilising pay & display machine at normal £1.00 per hour; • Conference Delegate / Weekly Permit – Permits to be obtained by the conference manager and charge for the delegate at the discretion of the conference manager. Booklets containing 25 permits can be purchased; and • Contractor Parking – Contract staff on official business (in company branded ve vehicles) will be issued with a one day / part week contractor parking permit. These permits are issued by the Facilities Department. The existing system at the University works well, bbut the policy is scheduled for another review in 2010 and if necessary the e policy will be amended amended. As part of the City Campus Masterplan, vehicular access for visitors and staff / students will be segregated. Visitors will approach the University from Wharncliffe Street and will enter a new visitor car parking area which will hhave ave capacity for 25 vehicles and will also include a new drop off facility. This facility will be known as the City Campus Travel Hub. This facility will be located at the heart art of the campus to the west of the Quad. This new arrangement will also accommodate a drop off / collection point for the Campus Bus and for the proposed City Centre Shuttle. The University, in consultation with Nexus are currently investigating ng the potential for installing VMS at the Travel Hub which will provide real time bus passenger information. Figure 2.10 shows the planned pedestrian and vehicular access points at the City Campus Travel Hub. 5087709/University of Sunderland - Travel Plan Final 200510.docx 42
