Limited Operations

Changes Effective Monday, Nov. 23, 2020

As many of you may know, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham issued new executive and public health orders, effective Monday, Nov. 16, that will have an impact on the currently limited operations available at UNM. As President Stokes has stated, our University remains committed to our original principles to protect the health of our faculty, staff, students, and all New Mexicans, continue our critical core missions of education, discovery, creation, and service, and protect our university for the long-term.

For these reasons, UNM Parking & Transportation Services (PATS) will make the following temporary adjustments to services provided by our department. The changes will go into effect as of Monday, Nov. 23 and will remain in place until further notice. Please continue to check UNM PATS website and UNM’s COVID-19 website for any additional changes or updates. 

PATS temporary changes in operations and services are as follows:
