Construction in Lot 51 / Lot 50:

Beginning October 19, 2009, a large portion of the southeast corner of Lot 51 and Lot 50 will be fenced off for a construction project.  The new building will house Physical Plant shops and it will replace facilities that must be demolished as part of the Charter Street Heating Plant reconstruction.  The Charter Street Heating Plant is being converted from a coal burning facility to one that will burn biomass and/or natural gas.

During construction there will be a large reduction in the parking available to fleet operations.  Because of this, parking for travelers will be reduced to an amount less than has been utilized in years past.  In other words there won't be enough room for everyone who wants to park.  In order to allow travelers to make effective trip plans, a new parking policy will be used. 
 

  • Travelers will not be permitted to park more than six nights.
  • Groups with multiple vehicles to the same destination and/or organized by one central entity/person/club/organization will be permitted one stall per trip for the entire group, not one stall for each fleet vehicle rented.
  • Each stall will require a reservation.  There will not be a fee, however there will be a reservation number especially for the parking stall.  A traveler with a fleet car reservation and a parking stall reservation will have two reservation numbers.  The wait list will be available for parking stall reservations.  Stalls on the wait list are not guaranteed.  Vehicles parked with no permit or an expired permit may be ticketed and towed.  Reservations for parking are obtained the same way that reservations for vehicles are made.

REPAIRS - 24 Hour Call Center:

In Madison, during business hours dial 262-3555 to reach the UW Garage.  Garage staff will assist you in determining where, how, and when repair work will occur.  After hours or out of town repairs are managed by a 24 hour call center company called Automotive Resources International (ARI).  To reach them, have the vehicle serial number available and dial Car Fleet at either 2-1307 or toll free 888-777-7181.  You will be offered a touch tone menu system and pressing zero will direct your call to ARI.  ARI will only handle Car Fleet vehicles at this time.

DELEGATION -
The ability for travelers to delegate to others the right to view and create reservations.   Log in and see the Profile tab to create or edit delegation rights.  Delegated users (when logged in) will see options in the View Reservations Tab and the New Reservation Tab.  Delegates may delete their rights to see other people's information if they wish and travelers can grant or delete delegated rights.  Travelers who wish to grant delegation rights must log in at least once to grant the rights to their travel arranger(s).  After that the travel arranger can view and create the reservations.  For now, delegated travel arrangers must be approved drivers.   In a future version, we may expand this capability to non-drivers.
