M. Petrelli-Aquino,
For AY2003-2004, permit parking fees will increase an average of 5%, a $1.16 per week increase in most University parking lots. The average permit parking rate will be $5.82 per working day, which is significantly less than the daily flat rate of $11 that non-permit holders currently pay in Penn's transient parking lots. The general permit parking fee structure is compliant with University policy that requires the Parking program to be self-supporting. Parking fees pay for surface lot improvements (e.g., costs of 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, decals, snow removal). Parking in an effort to add value to the parking experience has embarked on a campaign of infrastructure improvements and upgrades to the facilities. This summer we are making $2 million in improvements to Garage #7 (University Museum) and during the course of the year we will make several safety enhancements to our garages including Closed Circuit TV. 2003-2004
Permit Parking Rates
University faculty and staff are encouraged to pay their parking fees in installments through automatic payroll deduction. Equal installments (12 monthly or 52 weekly) will be taken from each paycheck issued September through August. Additionally, you will be automatically enrolled in the Penn Commuter Choice program, which offers you significant tax savings by deducting parking fees (up to $175 per month or $2,100 per year) on a pre-tax basis. Through Penn Commuter Choice, you do not pay federal or FICA taxes on the deducted amount.
