David Reesor, the director of UO’s Parking Transportation Services, said that the car will likely be towed and impounded.
“We have software back at the office that links to field staff. We’ll look at the license plate; we can look up if they have an active permit and we can look up who it is and if they’re a student, staff or faculty [member],” Reesor said. “If that doesn’t work — if they don’t have an active permit — we can coordinate with the Oregon DMV and find out the owner from there.”
More snow may fall in Eugene tonight, according to the National Weather Service.
