Parking Permit Details
Employee Intermediate Permits (E) Intermediate employee permits for the 2022-2023 permit year cost $42 per month ($504 annually). Employees who choose to purchase an intermediate employee permit not only have the flexibility of parking in all intermediate employee (E) lots but may also park in the south campus periphery (K and EK) areas. For more details about these permits, visit this page.
Employee Periphery Permits (EK) Employees who choose to park only at the south campus periphery (Kroger Field Red, Blue, or Orange Lots, Commonwealth Drive and College Way East and West lots) may purchase a periphery employee (EK) permit for $34 per month ($408 annually). This price is unchanged from last year. For more details about these permits, visit this page.
Employee Core Permits (C) Employees who currently have a core permit can renew their permit beginning on Wednesday, May 18. The cost for a core permit is $63 per month ($756 annually).
Core permits are a good choice for those seeking a more predictable parking option than the traditional intermediate or periphery parking areas. Core permit quantities are limited and are only initially available through a waitlist. Employees who wish to sign up for a core permit can add themselves to one or more core permit waitlists, accessible through the customer account manager. While on the waitlist, employees will need to purchase an employee intermediate or periphery permit to park on campus until they are selected for a core permit upgrade. For more details, visit this page.
If you have questions about purchasing a permit, please email or call Transportation Services at 859-257-5757.
