Location and Use of the CTR Vehicles

We have two parking spots reserved for our two vehicles on the south side of the building, in the Pay & Display lot (F). The spots are signed with “CTR Vehicle Only” so they are easy to find. You’ll return the vehicles to those spots when you are done with them. We’ll use the same checkout system we use now—email the CTR Admin mailbox to request a car reservation and pick up the key from the CTR purchaser (a new purchaser is joining us 2.12.18).
