Parking Safety

• Park in designated campus parking lots. Campus Police patrols through parking lots help deter criminals.
• If you see someone or something that looks suspicious, call the Campus Police Department.
• Always lock your car - when you get in and when you get out. Arrive at isolated parking lots when you know other students will be there. Walk to class in a group or near other people - not alone.
• Take the bus rather than walk alone.
• Walk at a steady pace and be alert - appear confident and purposeful. An attacker expects a passive victim, so if you walk slowly and appear to not know where you are going, you will seem like an easy target.
• Trust your instincts! If a situation, place or someone makes you feel uncomfortable or uneasy - LEAVE!
• If you think you are being followed, go to the nearest populate place. Or use UGA's Campus Emergency Call Boxes to report an emergency, located in the Green Street parking lots, Railroad lot, Upper G-Zone lot, Russell Hall lot, Boggs Hall lot, and Candler lot.
• Have your key ready before you reach your car.
