$5 Discounted Parking & Faculty/Staff Parking Permits Available Online

$5 Discounted ParkingÌý

Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) is excited to announce that they will be continuing their popular $5 daily parking rate.

Intended for faculty and staff who only need occasional parking on campus, the program allows users to purchase spaces in various available lots in advance for a discounted daily rate of $5 per day. Purchases can be completed via the . Additionally, step-by-step instructions are available on the Parking and Transportation Options page.

A few important things to remember:

  • You must use the CU Boulder Parking Services portal to purchase your day permit. It will not work on the ParkMobile app or the CU-specific ParkMobile website used in previous semesters.
  • This rate applies to specific lots and is dependent on space availability. If possible, always check the parking portal for availability prior to parking in a specific lot.
  • Permits are available for purchase to accounts in good standing, meaning accounts with a $0 balance due. If there are extenuating circumstances, please contact Parking Services directly to request an exemption.

We encourage you to share this information with your colleagues, and if this benefit has helped you, share that feedback with PTS. Positive feedback is always appreciated and is shared in discussions on continuing this program for future semesters.Ìý

You can switch lots to another available location or join a waiting list for a lot that is currently sold out. As permit cancellations are processed or as Parking Services identifies additional space availability, permits will be offered to the next person on the waiting list for that lot.

Payment options include both pretax and post-tax payroll deductions which occur at the end of the month for which you had a permit. Permits with a start date on or after the 15th of the month will have their first month's price prorated to $30.00. Ongoing deductions will continue until you submit a request for cancellation of your permit.

Requests for cancellation must be effective before the end of the month to avoid being billed for the next month. Payment is non-refundable.
