The University announced plans Tuesday to increase permit rates in prime parking locations on Grounds starting June 1 this year.
The decision will affect faculty, staff and students who park in parking lots close to Grounds, said Rebecca White, the director of the Department of Parking and Transportation, in an email.
“Parking permit fees that are currently $39 per month are going to $40 per month, $41 per month is going to $43 per month, $52 per month is going to $54 per month and $90 per month is going to $95 per month,” she said.
The comprehensive transportation fee charged to students annually is also going to increase by $5, from $168 to $173.
This is the third $1 or $2 per month increase for prime parking lots since the 2008-2009 school year. The comprehensive fee increase this year is far less than the last two annual increases of $10 and $13, respectively.
“The reason for the increases are increased personal services costs — salaries, wages and fringe — and operating cost, fuel costs, capital maintenance costs, etc,” White said.
The low-cost permit option for remote parking locations, on the other hand, will remain the same.
“Parking permit fees that are currently $18 per month, like the permits students purchase for the top deck of the Emmet/Ivy Garage and University Hall, will be staying the same price as they are now,” White said.
Meter fees, hourly rates in the garage and citation fees will also stay at the same price.
