About 2008–09 Parking Permit Rate Increases

Most types of parking permits do not have a rate increase for 2008–09.

*These rates may apply to employees in some bargaining units; employees in some bargaining units will not be affected by the parking fee changes until such time agreements regarding parking fees are reached between the University and the organizations which exclusively represent employees in these bargaining units.
Please direct your questions to Labor Relations, 831-459-2017.

* Rate increases are limited to the following types of parking permits:

A/B Scratch-Off Packets

• 1st Packet of 50 permits will increase form $165 to $180
• 2nd Packet of 50 permits will increase from $221 to $240
• 3rd Packet of 50 permits will increase from $247.50 to $270
