In support of this year’s unprecedented demand for parking, Penn Transportation and Parking is pleased to announce the availability of discounted daily (12-hour) and monthly permit parking rates at the Amtrak CIRA Parking Deck, 2929 Arch Street, next to 30th Street Station. Advanced registration is required. 

This location, operated by the SP+ Corporation (also known as Parking.com) is conveniently connected to the LUCY® Gold and Green Shuttle Routes, which operate Monday–Friday from 6:10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and provide free transportation to campus and the hospital complex for riders who display their PennCards or UPHS IDs.

Daily Parking

SP+ (also known as Parking.com) is offering discounted daily parking to the Penn and UPHS communities via advance registration at a dedicated reservation site. Follow the instructions provided on the landing page and enter Penn’s unique access code to receive the special discounted rate of $15 for up to 12 hours.

You will be emailed a receipt confirming your reservation, with a linked QR code.  Scan the QR code both at entry and exit of the garage at the box with red flashing lights. In the event that you do not have a smartphone, you may print out the QR code for entering and exiting the garage.

You should also be aware of the following information:

Monthly Permit Parking

Parking.com is also offering monthly passes to individuals from Penn and UPHS at the discounted rate of $175. Those interested can submit an application directly to SP+ by using their specially dedicated website.

Payment options

In addition to payment by personal credit card, University of Pennsylvania full-time, benefits-eligible faculty and staff may use the WageWorks Commuter Parking Card to pay for parking fees at this facility. Parkers can realize significant tax savings by deducting their commuting parking fees, via payroll, up to $270 a month on a pre-tax basis. Any amount over $270 each month is regarded as post-tax dollars. Commuters must place their order no later than the 10th of the month before the commuting month requested.
