The following message is from the Office of Parking Management:

The University has declared a snow/ice emergency on the Fredericksburg campus today, February   12th 2014.  University Snow Emergency parking regulations will be in effect at 10 p.m., February 12.  Please note that the Dahlgren campus and Stafford campus are under a separate snow/ice management plan.

No vehicles are allowed to remain in Snow Emergency Areas after 10 p.m. Any vehicle on University property interfering with snow removal operations is subject to towing at any time during the snow emergency declaration at the owner’s expense. This includes any UMW assigned  Service/Pool Vehicles for all departments and contractor vehicles that are left unattended/overnight  on campus  during the declaration. Please move these vehicles to Sunken Road lots located outside the Alvey Drive Parking Deck, or the Battlegrounds #33 lot located on Hanover Street.

  • Top level of the Eagle Landing parking deck
  • Double Drive and all driveways and roadways on campus
  • Pizza Hut parking lot 

In the case of public events, the lot in use for the public event will be closed as soon as the event concludes.  

All designated handicapped parking spaces, except those at Woodard Campus Center, are exempt from Snow Emergency Regulations. Facilities Services will ensure those spaces remain accessible.

Lots will reopen at 7 a.m. February 13 unless the University is declared closed or moves to a delayed opening. Under either of these conditions, all Snow Emergency Areas will remain closed to parking until the University officially reopens.

The greater Fredericksburg area is under a winter storm watch with the potential for snow and freezing conditions within the next 24 hours. If you plan to travel, please consider the potential road conditions. Decisions regarding the status of the University – classes, events, etc. – will be announced under a separate email if needed.
