Employees can apply for revised HOV parking program

On Thursday (May 22), Laboratory employees will be able to submit applications for the revised High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) parking program at Technical Area 3. Starting at 8 a.m., employees can fax applications to Facility Planning (FWO-FP) at 5-9171. Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

To assist in the process, FWO-FP has created a Web page that contains HOV parking lot maps, application instructions and forms, and frequently asked questions. The Web page can be found at http://arania.lanl.gov/fwo_pub/fwo_fp/html/fwo_fp_park_furn.htm online.

As detailed in the May 15 online Daily Newsbulletin, the Laboratory is revamping the current HOV program to help reduce the demand for parking at TA-3. Changes include increasing the vehicle occupancy requirement to three people per vehicle and employing Protection Technology Los Alamos (PTLA) officers to conduct HOV placard checks at the entrance to the designated parking lots. FWO Division anticipates implementing the revised program in early June.

For HOV parking-related questions or assistance, contact Geraldine Sanchez of FWO-FP at 664-0526, Monday through Friday, between 8 and 11 a .m. and 1 and 4:30 p.m.
