Comprehensive parking, transportation study informs new parking rate options
- Details
- Last Updated: August 30, 2018
Meeting the needs of students, faculty and staff that were identified through a comprehensive parking and transportation study and campuswide survey, UAB Transportation will implement several pricing options for student and employee permit rates for the 2018-19 year, with rates increasing for certain locations.
Rate increases – which have not occurred for students since 2012 and employees since 2008 – will support the implementation of improvements to the parking and transportation system. Cost effective and zoned parking options are available and are a crucial part of the overall permit structure.
“Because of the comprehensive parking and transportation study, we know we have a surplus of parking on the perimeter of our campus at express lots that have never been full,” said Transportation Director Andre Davis. “We want to focus on incentivizing those lots where we have space while minimizing the amount of time students search for a parking space.”
More information about the study and resulting plan is available here.
Student parking permits will be available for purchase online July 1. Beginning with the fall semester, students will have additional options to choose from beyond the traditional residential and commuter lot options, including zone options for the 12th Street Deck, the 16th Street Deck, and Express Lot 1. Information about these options and new student rates are available online.
New employee permit rate options will be implemented in January 2019.
