D3 "Parking Tickets" are reminder to back in for safety Editor's Note: Employees are encouraged not to back so far into a space that a trailer hitch or the rear of the vehicle hang over and impede walkways or create an obstruction. Faced with a rash of near misses in the parking lot, District 3 Safety Compliance Officer Eric Copeland and district leadership came up with the idea of issuing parking tickets to employees driving state vehicles to encourage them to back in to parking spots. Copeland said it has resulted in more compliance with personal vehicles, too. "Most of the ITD vehicles in the D3 yard are backed at any given time, and I would say that most personal vehicles are backed in as well."
