Parking FAQs

Who needs to have a parking permit?

How are permits paid for?

• Payments in the amount of $20 per month for salaried positions (paid monthly) and $10 per for hourly employees (paid biweekly) will be deducted automatically from employee paychecks.

What happens if I would like a $240 parking permit but do not get one? 

• Parking and Transportation will maintain a waitlist for anyone that would like a $240 parking permit, and employees will be contacted in the order they registered as spaces become available.

Will I get a sticker or decal to display on my vehicle to prove I have a permit?
