• AttentionAll U-Pass Holders
• Help us respect our neighbours and reduce traffic
  to UBC by leaving your car at home. Use your
  U-Pass and take the bus! It's much less expensive
  and does your bit for the environment.
• You can also avoid expensive parking charges and
  towing charges of over 100 for parking on
  Vancouver's residential streets longer than 3
  hours. For more information, refer to Bylaw No.
  2849.
