Parking Guidelines
Parking Assignment Details
Pillars Club contributions of $1,000 and above are eligible for preferred parking spaces. Pledges for preferred parking spaces are due by November 1, 2024.
While you can make a request for a parking spot placement, these requests are not guaranteed. Consideration for placement is not cumulative and is determined by the pledge amount made during the campaign, as well as the order of giving. Higher pledges receive priority, and within each pledge level, earlier contributions are given precedence.
- Employees are limited to one reserved parking spot – if you earn more than one, they will be combined (i.e. Safety Director, Service Anniversaries, United Way).
- Once a spot is assigned, it can only be moved due to position changes.
- Only designated maintenance personnel are permitted to move United Way parking signs once requested through the Public Affairs Department.
- Public Affairs should be notified of damaged and/or faded signs.
- New parking assignments will be communicated in December.
- Any parking issues must be communicated to Community Relations Advisor, Kelsey Talbot by January 24, 2025.
Entering Parking Selection
You will receive an automated email upon completion of your Pillars Club Contribution. If you do not receive this email, be sure that your pledge was fully completed.
It’s important that you identify the proper parking lot based on maps that are presented during the selection: CITGO Business & Engineering Center, Lab, Technical Services, Engineering, Refinery Clockhouse and Crude Coking Trailers.
- Select the parking lot.
- Select two preferred parking options by entering the spot numbers from the map of your parking lot.
- Comments section: provide as much detail as possible about your preferred location in the event your two selections are not available (i.e. low vehicle, large vehicle – end space, direction of parking spot, etc.). The more details you provide, the better we can determine a location based on availability.
- In plant parking: include details about your preferred location within the notes section.
Sign Details
Name plates are printed with donor name as listed in SAP. If a nickname is preferred, please indicate this in the notes during the selection.
