For the 1996 academic year permit
parking fees will increase an
average of 4.85% which equates to a 69¢
per week increase in most
University parking lots. The average
permit parking rate will be $2.96
per working day and compares favorably
with the minimum daily rate of
$6.50 that non-permit holders currently
pay in Penn's transient parking
lots.
The general permit parking fee structure
is responsive to the
University policy requiring the Parking
Program to be self-supporting.
Parking income is used to cover the cost
of surface lot improvements
(e.g., pavement, fencing, striping,
control gates), reduce the
construction debt on garages, finance new
construction of parking
facilities, pay parking taxes and real
estate rental fees, pay the
salaries of attendants, and cover the cost
of operating expenses (e.g.,
electricity, permit decals, snow
removal).
