Penn Transportation and Parking would like to thank the members of the University community for using our services over the course of the last year.  Despite the challenges of the pandemic, resources were invested to ensure the availability of a comprehensive parking and transportation system and to make significant improvements to safety, facility repairs and renovations, and aesthetic features.

Looking ahead to the new fiscal year, the department has worked diligently to minimize permit rates while meeting its commitment to continually invest in the parking facilities. To that end, the 2022-2023 parking rates reflect an increase of 3 percent. 

The following options offer faculty and staff a degree of flexibility in accommodating the needs of their work schedule:

Individuals Parking on Campus One or Two Days/Week

A Commuter Parking Card, available from Health Equity/Wage Works, offers pre-tax savings when ordered through payroll deduction. The daily 2022-2023 campus rate remains unchanged at $17.

Individuals Parking on Campus Three or More Days/Week

Anyone parking three or more days a week at University lots and garages will find that a monthly permit is a better choice to meet their needs as it is the best option.

Penn’s Occasional Parking Program

For those instances when Penn faculty and staff need to irregularly drive and park on campus, sustainable transit program participants who receive monthly payroll deductions can receive 10 daily parking permits per year at a significant discount. Passes may be used at the Walnut 40 garage on an “as available” basis. 

The above 2022–2023 parking rate chart reflects the changes, which will be implemented in the July payroll. 

Penn Transportation and Parking encourages faculty and staff to monitor www.upenn.edu/commuting/updates. This website offers a robust information portal where you will find important commuter updates, information about campus parking and carpool programs, discounted public transit and bike commuter options, how Penn Transit can serve commuters who reside near campus, and other valuable resources.
