Reduced-cost faculty and staff daily parking pilot program to launch at University Park

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Transportation Services has announced the launch of a new pilot program for reduced-cost daily parking for full-time faculty and staff at select campus parking areas.

The new parking option will offer an alternative to a monthly parking permit for remote and hybrid employees by using available space in the parking areas already overallocated for permits but consistently have unused parking spaces. The program also aims to relieve strain on the gated parking decks across campus during weekday daytime hours by redistributing some of the parking at those facilities to other areas.

The pilot program will be available to all current faculty and staff, regardless of whether they have a current parking permit. Users must log in with their Penn State user ID and password.

A limited number of daily reservations will be available for the following parking lots for $4.35 per day, payable by credit card on the reservation website:  

Daily parking can be purchased for single or multiple days and will remain available for purchase through the day of or until parking for that day has sold out. Availability may vary based on permit holder usage, special events, and facility maintenance needs. Select dates may be unavailable, and the program may be discontinued at any time.

Reservations are available now at the daily parking reservations website.

The pilot program will run through Sunday, August 25. Information on this program's future availability will be communicated before the start of the fall semester.
