Traffic Procedures

Commencement 2011

PARKING at the McLane Center is prohibited, except for handicapped parking for those with a government issued permit, NYS handicapped license plate, or special handicapped permit issued by the NYS University Police at Alfred State. UPD will issue temporary permits to those with special needs for the Commencement ceremony. Anyone wishing to obtain a handicapped permit for the day should contact Lt. Heller at the University Police Department at (607) 587-3999 Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-4 p.m. no later than Friday, May 13, 2011. This permit must be visible to the police officer before the vehicle will be allowed access to the handicapped parking areas.

The lot in front of the Alfred State College Administration Building will be reserved for handicapped parking overflow.

Ample parking is available on the Alfred State campus, and a free shuttle bus service will be provided to and from the McLane Center. The shuttles will stop only at designated bus stops in order to reduce traffic congestion.

TRAFFIC FLOW IS ONE WAY – on campus the day of Commencement. We request that you read and adhere to the following special regulations regarding on-campus traffic:

1. LOADING ZONE PARKING is restricted to the area between Peet Hall and Shults Hall and will be limited to the coned-off area for a limit of 15 minutes per vehicle.
2. When you have finished loading, MOVE to the parking area so others can use the space.
3. Village speed limit is 30 mph and campus speed is 25 mph, both strictly ENFORCED.

University Police officers will be on duty to assist you in getting in and out of the loading zone, locating buildings and activities, and enforcing traffic regulations. They will also assist the disabled to specially designated parking. Any disabled person who desires assistance should contact an officer. Officers will be on duty at the entrances to the campus.
