'Short-term/Daily' vs. 'Long-term/Commuter' Permit Costs

The virtual permit system provides the option to choose between 'Short-term/Daily' or 'Long-term/Commuter' (monthly) permits according to your needs. Determining the permit that is right for you depends on how often you need to park on campus. For a list of all parking permit rates, visit our permit prices table.

Since many employees continue to work remotely on a part-time or full-time basis, purchasing daily permits for days you need to drive to campus could be a savings for you.

To help you determine how many days it makes financial sense to purchase a daily versus a monthly permit, we developed the following table.

Short-term/Daily Permits 'A' Permit 'C,' 'Z,' 'Res' Permits
One day $16.25 $5.45
Two days $32.50 $10.90
Three days $48.75 $16.35
Four days $65 $21.80
Five days $81.25 $27.25
Six days $97.50 $32.70
Seven days $113.75 --
Long-term/Commuter Permits 'A' Permit 'C,' 'Z,' 'Res' Permits
One month $116 $35

To learn more about the permit cost based on days commuting to campus, visit our table.
