General

(1) These regulations are established by the University of Tennessee at Martin (“UTM”) Parking Authority, appointed by the University administration as directed by resolution of the University of Tennessee Board of Trustees on June 20, 1968. They are applicable to all UTM students, faculty, staff, and visitors on the UTM campus. Any persons operating vehicles on the UTM campus are subject to and required to comply with these traffic and parking regulations. Students, faculty, and staff are required to obey these traffic and parking regulations as a condition of their attendance/employment at UTM. (2) The purposes of these regulations are to facilitate the safe and orderly conduct of UTM business and to provide parking facilities in support of this function within the limits of available space. (3) The UTM Department of Public Safety is responsible for implementation and enforcement of these regulations. (4) A vehicle may be considered abandoned when the vehicle is left unattended on UTM property or on a city street adjacent to UTM property for more than seventy-two (72) consecutive hours or when other circumstances exist that indicate to UTM, in its discretion, that the vehicle has been abandoned. Under such circumstances, the UTM Department of Public Safety will place a warning sticker on the vehicle and if the vehicle is not moved within twenty-four (24) hours after such notice is given, UTM may remove the vehicle to an area of UTM’s choosing at the vehicle owner’s expense. (5) All persons with a UTM vehicle registration decal are requested to remove such decal before disposing of the vehicle. Wherever used in this rule, “vehicle registration decal” means a decal issued by UTM that has not expired and, when properly displayed on a vehicle, authorizes a vehicle to be parked in certain designated parking spaces on UTM property.
