Parking Contract Waiting List Method
When an opening occurs, the person at the top of that particular facility waiting list will be contacted and offered a parking contract in that specific facility. The individual is not obligated to accept the offer. If the individual has a parking contract in another University facility, they may transfer their active contract to the new facility at the new facility rate.

Once the contract offer is accepted, faculty/staff will receive their keycard/hangtag by inter-office mail or they may pick it up at the PTS administrative office.
