Throughout the academic year, Campus Safety may request permitholders to move their vehicle to accommodate a MMA event, parking lot maintenance or campus construction.\u00a0 While we strive to inconvenience you as little as possible, we ask for your patience and understanding during these events.\u00a0 Campus Safety will send a campus-wide e-mail through your email account several days prior to the event that lists the date(s) and time(s) of the parking lot closure.\u00a0 Students who fail to remove their vehicle will be ticketed and may have their vehicle towed at the owner\u2019s risk and expense.<\/p>\n

These spaces are marked with signs. With the intent to assist students who live off campus in the town of Castine and who need a place to park during town parking bans, vehicles with properly displayed, valid Commuter Parking permits may park in one of these five spaces overnight when a Town of Castine parking ban is in effect. This accommodation is only available when the Town of Castine sends an alert that a parking ban is in effect, and only for the duration of the ban. All vehicles must leave these spots immediately when the ban is over, so that the spaces can be plowed, sanded or otherwise maintained. Vehicles left in those spots beyond the ban will be subject to parking citations, immobilization or towing. Once these five spots are full, there are no other spots on campus for a Commuter vehicle to be parked overnight. When no Town of Castine parking ban is in effect, these spots are to be used as usual Commuter spaces.<\/p>\n Maine Maritime Academy may assist the Town of Castine in enforcing parking regulations on the streets that border or encompass the campus.\u00a0 These areas are also regulated and enforced by the Town of Castine.\u00a0 Many areas are restricted by the day of the week (calendar parking) or the time of year (seasonal parking).\u00a0 Please visit the Town of Castine parking rules at https:\/\/castine.me.us\/ordinances-policies\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n The academy recognizes that members of the campus community may need access to load and unload items.
