As we move closer to transitioning to a new parking program this fall, I am writing to kindly ask you to encourage your employees to participate in our weeklong shuttle pilot April 7-11.

For the first time in Mizzou’s history, we will have a campuswide shuttle service that is available not only to students, but also to faculty and staff. The expanded service will offer new, more frequent route options that provide service throughout campus.

Everyone — especially those who plan to use our shuttle service — is encouraged to participate in the shuttle pilot. The shuttle loops, hours and stops (and a downloadable map) are available at mizzou.us/parkingprogram. By testing the expanded shuttle service, faculty and staff will be able to determine how changing their parking locations and/or accessing our shuttle service will affect their daily commute this fall.

As we prepare to transition to this new parking program, here are some key dates to note:
• April 7-11: Shuttle pilot offered.
• April 14-18: Parking permit election period for fall 2025 for faculty and staff on a first-come, first-served basis for those who want to modify their current parking location.
• Starting April 28: Confirmation notices sent for fall 2025 to faculty and staff.
• Aug. 1: The new parking program takes effect.

Thank you for your support and for encouraging your employees to learn all they can about our new parking program and shuttle service before the fall semester begins. This will help tremendously with the transition.

Best regards,

Sarah Chinniah
Vice Chancellor for Business Operations and Strategic Initiatives

UMSL is undergoing a renovation which means a portion of their collection has been suppressed from EDS and the MOBIUS catalog, and certain items are not requestable. Currently, LC call number ranges: A-D, F-QC are largely unavailable. Most of these items fall under the two UMSL locations: UMSL TJL General Collection Level 1 and UMSL TJL General Collection Level 4. UMSL holdings for both of these locations have been suppressed from EDS and the MOBIUS catalog. In addition, these items have been given a temporary loan type of “non-circulating” to prevent patrons from requesting these items and to prevent these items from being selected to fill a request in FOLIO. If you currently have an item with one of these locations on your hold shelf, you can circulate these items to patrons even if the loan type is currently “non-circulating”. You will be required to enter an override. However, patrons will not be able to place requests for these two locations until further notice. New and returned items will be shelved in a new location UMSL TJL Renovation Stacks (Level 5), and they will be able to circulate

Location: Mel Carnahan Quad
