Dear Tulane Community,

I received so many questions about parking and shuttle service in response to my first e-mail that I wanted to provide you with some updated and expanded information as we close in on the May 18 start of the McAlister Place project.

Although parking is being eliminated on McAlister Place from Freret Street to Drill Road, the number of spaces available on campus will remain the same as parking is shifted to the Rosen lot at Ben Weiner Drive and South Claiborne Avenue.

The Rosen lot is accessible from South Claiborne Avenue and is open from 6 a.m. to midnight, Monday through Friday. Only green staff, blue faculty and red commuter student parking permits will be recognized at Rosen. As usual, campus visitors can purchase one-day parking passes in the Office of Public Safety in order to park on campus, including the Rosen lot.

Beginning in August, the new Rosen shuttle route will run from the Rosen lot through the middle campus and back to Rosen. When the shuttle is not running, TUPD offers escorts to any location on campus. You can request an escort at any time by dialing x5381. The Safe Ride shuttle is available to take riders off campus as well. In addition, TUPD is adding a satellite security location at the corner of Ben Weiner Drive and South Claiborne Avenue adjacent to the Rosen lot.
