A. The red zones have been established for the safety of employees, students and visitors. These red zones provide the proper clearance for emergency vehicles responding to the college as well as for the safe maneuvering of delivery and other vehicles through the lot. It is illegal to park in a red zone unless directed by a police officer in accordance with California Vehicle Code Section 22500.1 (1) (2) (3).

A. Yes, but only in Lot B. Employees not assigned to an off-campus parking lot may choose to have their vehicles stacked in Lot B. Lot B is located next to the Child Development Center and is accessed from Mountain Street. You will be required to leave your car keys with an attendant and should pick them up before 4:15 p.m. If you are unable to pick them up before the indicated time, the keys will be available at the GCC Police Station in SM153 after 4:45 p.m. Please bring your ticket stub receipt when retrieving your keys.

A. Yes, the District has funded an Alternative Parking Program that guarantees a parking space and a ride to and from the college. If you are having trouble finding a parking space, please consider participating in our Alternative Parking Program. The Verdugo Park & Ride, which is less than five minutes away, has plenty of parking and a shuttle that picks up participants every 20 minutes throughout most of the day.

A. Should you be arriving to the lot or need to get a ride back to the lot during a time when a shuttle is not conveniently scheduled, you may call the GCC Police to have a "Special Pick-up" scheduled. It’s best if you make this arrangement a few hours in advance, however we will try to accommodate anyone who makes the request with at least 20 minutes notice. The number to call is (818) 551-5205.

A. Yes, other off-campus lots are also available and are assigned on a seniority basis. For more information on participating in the Alternative Parking Program, please email parking@glendale.edu.

A. Additional information on the lots and printable shuttle schedules are available online at http://www.glendale.edu/offcampuspark.htm. You may also pick up schedules at the GCC Police Station in SM153.

A. Here are some ways you can help:

• Form a 3 or more person carpool (one permit issued to group).
• Join or form a 5 or more person vanpool (college van provided).
• Walk or bike to work and get a $10 monthly stipend (no permit issued).
• Use the Bus and receive 50% reimbursement up to $100 a month.

A. Employees that park off campus are entitled to the following:

• 20 minutes at the beginning and end of each workday.
• 10 minute grace period has been established if you have to leave the campus for an appointment. This 10 minute grace period will apply to the beginning and end of your absence.
• Guaranteed ride home for Carpool participants that carpool with 3 or more persons per vehicle.
• Guaranteed ride to the off campus parking lots.
• Use of a Campus Vehicle for transportation to scheduled appointments such as doctor's appointments.

• Retain their seniority and right to return to their pre-construction parking assignment.

A. The District has agreed to modify the work schedule of participating classified staff so that it will coincide with the shuttle schedules.

A. Please submit a Permit Request Form to the GCC Police Department and we will do our best to provide your guest with a convenient area to park. Permit Request Forms can be obtained from the GCC Police Station in SM153 or online at http://www.glendale.edu/intranet/forms.htm.

A. In order to provide parking for our employees and students, we are asking that all events be scheduled in the evenings and on weekends whenever possible. Our parking is severely impacted on a daily basis and will only get worse when events increase the amount of vehicles parking on campus. We hope that you will wait until the parking structure is completed so that your visitors will have a pleasant parking experience at Glendale College.

A. Like most construction projects, weather and other unforeseen circumstances can affect completion schedules. The parking structure is currently scheduled for occupancy beginning September 2007.

A. We recommend that students coming to class between 9:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. arrive at least one hour before their class starts.

A. Stacked parking is a form of assisted parking. Customers are directed to park in regular parking stalls first. Once the stalls are filled, parking attendants direct students to park behind other parked cars.

A. If you see an open spot in a stacked lot, it may be open because the attendants are in the process of moving cars from the aisles and into spaces to try and create more room to stack vehicles.

A. The attendant needs your car keys so that they can move your car to let the one you’re blocking out.

A. No, only give them the keys to open and turn on your car. If your vehicle has a "valet" key, then that’s the best key to give them.

A. The parking attendants are insured and bonded, however, we recommend that you not leave valuables in your vehicle.
