Private Parking Space Permits

A Private Parking Space is for the use of an individual holding a specific university position. The university limits the number of Private Parking Spaces to manage the campus parking supply. Use of Private Parking Spaces results in costs to the university by reducing the inventory of spaces available for sharing with others, reducing a departments available spending on other resources, and impacting the university’s ability to reach its sustainable transportation and carbon reduction goals.

Positions Authorized for Private Parking Spaces:

The Vice President for Finance and Administration determines the limited selection of positions that are eligible for a Private Parking Space. His or her determination is based on the position’s requirement to frequently travel using their personal automobile during business hours as a condition of their employment, and for the convenience of the university to minimize costs associated with lost time and/or productivity. 

Eligible positions are determined each Spring Term for the following Fall Term. Employees in authorized positions will be notified by the Vice President for Finance and Administration.

Duration of space assignment:
  • One year
Where you can park:

Private Parking spaces are used by only one person. A Transportation Services-issued permit must be displayed on a vehicle in the space, and the vehicle must also display a valid commuter permit for the zone in which the space is located.

Contact our department to request changes to existing spaces.

Funds eligible for purchase:
  • University Index
Price: 
  • $1,764 per space
How to purchase:
  • The employee must pay for an individual parking permit, but the employee’s department may pay the cost of the Private Parking Space.
