## Parking

If you park in either of the lots on the east or west side of the building,
or on Pine Street on the east side of CARC, obtain a one-day visitor parking
permit at the CARC front desk.

Free but limited parking is offered on Ash Street to the west of the CARC
building. Metered parking is available to the northeast of CARC in the lot in
front of the church.

!!! warning "Neighborhood parking"

    Much of the parking in the neighborhoods around the building is
    permit-only, and you can be ticketed if you park in these areas.

Employees and resident lab personnel can obtain authorization for a long-term
P parking pass from UNM Parking and Transportation Services — contact
Sr. Business Manager [Anneliese Ward](mailto:anw0412@unm.edu) about a
long-term pass.
