Because of some past vandalism issues, we highly suggest you do not leave your personal vehicles in the Facilities Management parking lot over night. All vehicles parked in the Facilities Management parking lot are subject to parking fines if the proper parking decal is not displayed.

Drivers of the Mid-Buses that will be gone on late night or overnight trips may leave their personal vehicles inside the fenced area of the Facilities Management yard. These vehicles must be parked in the northwest corner of the lot just to the left of main gate as you enter the maintenance yard. It’s highly recommended that you not leave a personal vehicle overnight while driving the bus. Leaving your personal vehicle inside the fenced area exposes it to damage because of the daily heavy traffic by ASU workers, delivery trucks etc. The Facilities Management department will not be responsible for theft, damage or vandalism to your personal vehicle. Individuals renting vans may NOT leave their vehicles inside the maintenance yard.

Departments that do not check out the vehicles during normal business hours (Monday through Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m.) are subject to a 2 hour minimum overtime pay for a Facilities Management employee to check out the vehicle after hours, on weekends and holidays.
