Suggestions for Commuters

Leave early. Allow plenty of time for traffic, parking, and weather.
Always plan an alternate route in case of road closings, and/or heavy traffic.
Keep emergency supplies (a jack, spare tire, jumper cables, etc) in your car at all times.
Make sure your car is always in proper working order; get frequent tune-ups.
Look into alternative transportation such as carpools, buses, or trains.
Call your professors if you should get stranded or snowbound and are unable to make it to class. If your professors are not in, leave a message and contact via email or the department secretary so they know that you did try to reach them at the office in a timely manner.
If you are stranded on-campus, de-icer and other quick fixes can be found at Sykes Information Desk. If the problem is more serious, call Public Safety at 610-436-3311. If you are unable to drive home because of bad weather, contact Sykes Student Union, where the Off Campus Services program is located.
Consider planning your class schedule to avoid high traffic and parking times.
Even if you can park at North Campus, you may find that parking at South Campus actually saves time; no endless laps of full North Campus meters and/or lots.
Drive safely and buckle up!
