Have the spaces where they can be monitored Only issue permits to those that are in a ‘BUDi

team’ which then allow members to park in the dedicated spaces

If the spaces are misused remove the privilege – 3 strikes and you are out/clamp those that persistently abuse the spaces but ensure your policy is available to view on the intranet with all other car-sharing information

Page 19: EAUC Conference: 23 March 2010 Hermione Brown and Amy Watts

To successfully get your message across you need to decide who you are targeting

o Staff? o Students? o Part time staff/students?o Visitors?
