Reminder: Daily Complimentary Parking Passes
Eligible faculty and staff who participate in carpooling, vanpooling, Commuter Choice, or Bike Commuter Choice receive complimentary daily parking passes as part of these programs.
Daily passes are meant for one day of parking, so include a date on the pass when using it or risk a parking ticket. Parking and Transportation does not want this to happen to anyone, so take a moment and put the complete date on the daily pass you are using.
