The campus parking rules and regulations are changing for the 2019–2020 school year.
Faculty and staff members can go to the Student Services Center in the lower level of Hubbell Dining to purchase parking passes for the 2019–2020 school year. Passes will be on sale Monday–Friday from 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m. in the month of July, with the exception of July 4 and 5, when the office will be closed. Staff members who prefer to pay using the payroll deduction method may do so at the office with the attached form. Starting on August 1, online and student sales will open up.
A few things to remember as you look to make your decision on where to park; the changes are designed to accomplish four key goals:
o to provide a more predictable parking experience
o to ensure adequate parking, evenly distributed across campus
o to advance the pedestrian friendly nature of campus
o to enhance the visitor parking experience.
The primary change is that when purchasing a parking tag, you will have the option to select a designated zone. A commuter hang tag will be issued for each zone. When parking, you are restricted to your designated zone.
Faculty and staff zone choices are:
o Tier I Commuter Zones ($250 per year)
§ Zone 1 – Yellow – Lot 16, Olmsted *
§ Zone 2 – Green – Lots 18 N&S Stadium Lot
§ Zone 3 – Red – Lot 13 & 14, Wifvat Plaza
o Tier II Commuter Zones ($125 per year)
§ Zone 4 – Orange – Commuter Lots East of 27th St.
§ Zone 5 – Purple – Commuter Lots West of 27th St.
It is important to remember that the Tier 1 Commuter Zones will be strictly enforced Monday–Friday from 6 a.m.–4:30 p.m. After 4:30 p.m. the Tier 1 zones will open up to anyone with a University Commuter Permit. Any cars parked in Tier I lots without the appropriate permit may be towed. It is also important to remember that unless specified, a parking permit is always required to park in a Drake owned lot, regardless of time of day.
Attached for your convenience is the Parking Registration form PDF as well as the Payroll Deduct Authorization form so you can fill it out prior to coming to the Student Services Center.
Finally, please note the following dates when the Olmsted Parking lot will be closed for University events in the fall semester. On the dates listed Olmsted parking permits will be honored in all commuter lots with the exception of Lot 13 (Red) and Lots 18N&S (Green).
