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.

Reservations
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.
How to Check Availability, Reserve Cars, View History, Report Mileage
The above services and features along with other value-added content
are available to anyone with a Net ID after they log in first to the
Physical Plant portal and then select the Car Fleet tab. Click the 'Login' link at top right on this page
(scroll all the way up...) for more details.
