No increase for parking rates, bus passes for 2015-16

Good news for campus commuters: All parking rates will remain unchanged for the 2015-16 permit year, effective Sept. 1, 2015, through Aug. 31, 2016. This applies to all permits, including base lot, afternoon and night surface and garage.

The price of bus passes will also remain at $24.

This pause in parking rates will be added to the six-year plan, now in its third year, which will condense the campus parking rate categories from three rates to two.

Rates for next year are not increasing due, in part, to the delay in hospital garage construction and cost savings on various other construction projects and programs.

By 2018, the six-year plan will align all garages, ramps and high-demand surface lots in one category and all remaining surface lots in another.
