2021-2022 Permit and Program Prices

Permit Fee Reduction Effective September 1, 2021

As part of our ongoing efforts to further support our employees and students, campus parking fees for the 2021-22 academic year are being subsidized centrally to reduce fees by 15 percent for individual affiliates who purchase quarterly, annual, or multi-year A, B, C, or R parking permits. All other campus parking and program fees will remain the same.

This fee reduction is effective September 1, 2021 and all eligible reduced fees are reflected in the table below.

Those who have already prepaid for a quarterly, annual, or multi-year A, B, C, or R permit that is valid September 1st or later can receive a prorated refund by coming to the TAPS Sales Office between October 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022.

Those who are on payroll deduction will see a reduction in their monthly charges beginning on their check dated October 1, 2021 for employees paid monthly, and September 1, 2021 for employees paid bi-weekly.

Students who have paid for parking via their student portals will receive credits through the portal.

Retroactive refunds for periods prior to September 1, 2021 will not be issued. Permit fees are subject to change with or without notice.
