PARKING

Parking accommodations at Agency-occupied buildings and facilities shall be governed by applicable laws and regulations. This space shall be equitably administered among employees in the bargaining unit. There shall be adequate parking spaces at each facility where there are employees with bona fide physical disabilities.

At parking facilities under control of the Agency, the Agency shall establish procedures that shall allow employees to enter and exit freely without requiring them to wait unreasonably.

At those Agency owned or leased parking areas in locations of known sustained low temperatures, zero (0) degrees Fahrenheit or below, the Agency agrees to provide and maintain an adequate number of outdoor electrical outlets for the use of bargaining unit employees. Where outdoor electrical outlets are provided, the Agency shall ensure that the outlets are activated at temperatures of twenty (20) degrees Fahrenheit or below. This provision shall also apply to any future acquired parking areas.

When the temperature at a location is less than ten (10) degrees Fahrenheit, the Agency may allow an early vehicle start.

When two (2) or more facility parking spaces are reserved for air traffic, other than those reserved for government cars, visitors, and disabled individuals, a space shall be made available to the Facility Representative.

When parking is under the Agency's control, every reasonable effort shall be made to provide safe and appropriately lighted, adequate parking at no cost to the employee. The Agency agrees to exercise reasonable care in maintaining the security of the area and vehicles, to the extent of its authority. When parking is not under the control of the Agency, every reasonable effort will be made to obtain parking as close to the facility as possible.
