New Community/Visitor parking permit available for purchase starting Jan. 2
Beginning Tuesday, Jan. 2, Transportation Services will launch a new Community/Visitor parking permit to replace the existing visitor Commuter permit.
The Community/Visitor permit will be available to local community members and frequent campus visitors, including non-Penn State employees who purchase their own Commuter-access parking permit and Commonwealth Campus students not enrolled in classes at University Park.
The permit will be priced at $15 per month and provide the following on-campus parking access:
- All Commuter lots
- 4 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday through Friday
- West Deck and all Orange lots
- 3 p.m. - 2 a.m., Monday through Friday
- All day Saturdays and Sundays, except between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m.
- Note: Orange L lots near the Bryce Jordan Center will not be accessible during Penn State events on the east side of campus.
Parking during other hours will require payment of the applicable hourly or event fee, where available. The permit will also have no access on home football game days. Discounted prepaid parking for many special events is available through ParkMobile, including season parking packages for select Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics teams.
Permits will be available to purchase through the online parking portal for one month at a time, with automatic reminder notices for renewal emailed to permit holders before their expiration date. If you do not have access to a computer or are unable to purchase this permit online, customers may visit the Transportation Services Office, and a team member will assist you at one of the self-service kiosks in the lobby. A valid email address is required to purchase this permit.
If this permit does not meet your parking needs, please visit the Visitor Parking page at the Transportation Services website to learn more about our daily and event parking options.
