Parking permits up for renewal

By Andy Clendennen

This summer all University parking permits will be up for renewal, and the Parking Services Department is developing a mail-in program to help simplify the renewal process.

All permits expire on June 30, including the three-year permits issued in 1999.

Permit type FY02 FY03 Red $700 $735 Yellow $325 $335 Green $105 $110 Blue $325 $335 Brown $325 $335 Yellow evening $70 $75 Red evening $70 $75 Off-site $70 $75 Disabled $105 $110 Student summer $70 $75 Official business $315 $325 Daily $3 $3 Monthly $60 $60 FY02 is fiscal year 2002. FY03 is fiscal year 2003.

Faculty and staff parking permit holders will receive a renewal packet in April. Once the application and proper authorizations are returned, parking services can begin the process of issuing the permits.

Permit holders should expect to receive their permits around the middle of June.

As was announced last year, several new parking guidelines will be implemented as part of this renewal process. This year, those persons with unpaid tickets issued between July 1, 2001, and June 30, 2002, must pay their fines prior to renewing their parking permit. Parking services implemented an invoice process this past year to remind permit holders of their outstanding fines.

Staff and faculty permit holders also will be required to sign a form allowing for payroll deduction for unpaid fines and tickets. Beginning July 1, invoices will be sent reminding permit holders of the outstanding fines prior to any deduction. This process is similar to guidelines applicable to student permit holders.

Also as part of the renewal process, green permit holders will have the option to purchase a rider on their permit for an upgrade to yellow during summer and other holiday break periods.

Permit fees have been reviewed by the University's Parking Committee and will increase effective July 1.
