Rate increase, online renewal for 2007 parking permits

Two changes have been put into effect for 2007 parking permits: Rates have increased and renewal is now an online process.

Parking rates for 2007 will increase by 7 percent, a $2.33 per month increase for faculty and staff members and a $12 per semester increase for students. Parking rates are posted at www.parking.uiuc.edu/rates.htm.

Several years ago, the Campus Parking Master Plan called for an annual rate increase of 13-15 percent to offset anticipated debt. Budget considerations delayed the increases for a few years until modest rate increases resumed last year. Earlier this year, the central campus parking deck construction project was placed on hold pending the outcome of a campus transportation study. This means the campus will not realize the additional debt yet, and as a result, do not need to implement the full 13-15 percent increase called for in the Master Plan. The transportation study should be completed this year, at which time rate increases will be re-evaluated with further direction from the UI administration.

Faculty and staff parking permits are now renewable online. Customers will not receive paper renewal forms in the mail. The online service also allows customers to view their account, pay citations and provide comments and questions to the department. Instructions are posted online.

After June 26, customers may choose to purchase a renewal at the Parking Department’s Customer Service counter.
