Previously, NMC and the jail shared parking for staff and patients that is now unavailable as a result of the expansion project. This impacts over 300 parking spaces including the availability of American with Disabilities Act (ADA) parking.
NMC and Resource Management Agency (RMA) collaborated in building a temporary parking lot to address the parking shortage during the expansion project. However, this temporary parking lot is remote and may limit access. Staff have expressed concerns regarding the safety and inaccessibility of the remote parking lot. NMC received many requests to provide a shuttle service from the remote lot to the hospital.
NMC conducted an assessment and determined that safety issues exist in the remote parking area; especially in the evening hours. For the safety and convenience of our staff NMC proposes providing shuttle services between the remote lot and the hospital from 6:00am to 9:00pm Monday through Friday. Due to the temporary need for remote parking, contracting with a vendor is a suitable and cost effective option.
