  • In an effort to move to a 10-month versus a 12-month permit pay period, June and July will not be charged on payroll deduction and you will not be charged those months if you choose to purchase your annual permit up front, resulting in an overall lower annual permit price. See the 2021-22 through 2024-25 parking permit cost table for more information.  

*Reserved Spaces - Employees who receive reserved spaces (i.e. deans or vice-chancellors, etc.) on an available basis, pay an extra premium for reserved parking.
