A New Attitude: IUPUI Parking and Transportation Services is re-branding the campus’s fleet of service vehicles.

Vehicles operated by Parking and Transportation, along with Campus Facilities Services – a total of about 65 trucks, cars, and minivans – will all carry the maroon and gold IUPUI mark and unit name signature consistent with the new IU identity guidelines.

Transportation supervisor Brady McManama (left) and Jeremy Gray, fleet maintenance, are shown with the first vehicle to have the new image paint job, a new 2007 Chevy 3500 series truck.

The vehicle branding shows "all IUPUI can work together as one" to support the IUPUI image, McManama said. All Parking and CFS vehicles should have the new markings by February 2008, he added.
