Over the past six months, a parking rate review committee, comprised of representatives from the Boulder Faculty Assembly, Boulder Campus Staff Council, the CU Student Government, and the Boulder campus administration conducted a comprehensive review of the financial position and outlook of the campus parking program. After taking into consideration operational budget issues and the fact that parking rates had not increased since July 2010, the rate review committee recommended an increase of permit prices by 5% for fiscal year 2013 (July 1, 2012-June 30, 2013). This increase will apply to all permits including: faculty/staff, student, motorcycle, ADA, and business permits.
Faculty/Staff
Faculty and staff can expect to see the parking rate increase reflected in their June pay advice, as parking permit fees are deducted one month in advance. For faculty and staff who may wish to cancel their permit before the increase, they must call Parking and Transportation Services, at 735-8581 to cancel their permit by June 11th in order for the payroll deduction to be processed in time. The permit will be honored through June 30, 2012.
