UTEP says permit holders may park in any of the green remote lots and use the free Miner Metro Shuttle to get to the main campus.

The university is also encouraging students and employees to consider carpooling, public transportation, or other alternative transportation options.

According to the email, double parking, triple parking, and parking in driving or fire lanes will not be permitted because it can obstruct emergency access, traffic flow, and pedestrian movement.
