As you're probably aware, parking lots and garages have been open and free since mid-March. Although there was a significant cost to do this, it was the right thing for the campus given the circumstances. As part of our re-entry plan, we will reinstitute charging in parking garages and requiring parking permits in parking lots. This is effective, July 27, 2020.

Our re-entry plan also includes the following:

GARAGES NOW CONTACTLESS AND CASHLESS

  • To reduce public and staff interaction, all garages, except the Second Street Garage, will be contactless and will no longer accept cash. Credit cards (Mastercard, Visa, Discover) and CatCa$h will be accepted. Wildcat Ambassadors will be available to assist in place of our traditional cashiers.

EMPLOYEE REDUCED-COST OCCASIONAL USE PERMITS

Parking & Transportation Services has made the following NEW options available to University employees due to the increase in teleworking:
