Parking Lot

Parking Lot Happenings

Why are the red and green stripes in the parking lot?

Helping Hands parking are spots hatched in red and are designed to offer parking in close proximity to an entrance for those who have mobility challenges. For instance, if you use a walker or are a family of multiple babies, and need a helping hand from our friendly hospitality ambassadors, these spots are for you!

The spots marked in green are for Fuel Efficient Vehicles. You don't have to drive a hybrid to qualify. Click here to see if you are one of the over 600 cars eligible for these spots. FEV parking is part of our sustainability efforts and education at CUMC.

Parking Lot Hosts

Do you like to use walkie talkies? Always been eager to wear an orange vest? Then you are perfect for our hospitality parking lot hosts. Sessions are only in peak seasons at peak parking times to aid in traffic flow so drivers avoid congestion and frustration. Training is available on site, and this committment only takes 20 minutes of your time for twice a month. This fall's session runs from August 22nd-September 26th. Please email Rev. Alexandra Robinson for more information at alexandra@cumc.com
