Why do we have assigned parking decals?
Assigned parking decals are important for a couple of reasons. First, the decals will help us quickly identify who a vehicle belongs to so we can contact the owner if Security notices something concerning—like a flat tire, a light left on, a window left open during bad weather, or any damage to the vehicle. Second, using decals will help ensure that team members are parking in their designated areas, which supports better organization and availability of spaces for patients and visitors.
