How to use the customer portal

Instruction	Screenshot
To purchase or reserve a product, click Get Permits.
You will see a list of the products that you are eligible to purchase or reserve. This list will vary based on UW affiliation, employee subclassification and/or department/unit approvals. Please review all product information before purchasing or reserving a product so that you can determine the one that best fits your needs.
Products eligible for renewal will appear at the bottom of the product list. You will be able to renew on a quarterly or annual basis, depending on the product type.
After selecting your product(s), you must acknowledge that you have reviewed and will abide by Transportation Services policies and that any violation of these policies may result in a cancellation or revocation.
If you selected a product that requires a date selection (e.g., short term or Daily permits), you will be asked to select an effective date for the permit. If you selected an academic quarter based parking product, you only need to select the start date. End dates are automatically selected based on the UW’s academic calendar. You may select an effective date up to two weeks in the future.
Select which vehicle to add to this permit (if applicable). You may have up to five vehicles linked to your account and permit, but you may only park one vehicle on campus at a time. If the vehicle you would like linked to your permit is not listed or you need to add vehicle information, you can do so by clicking Add Vehicle.
Select the location you would like your permit to be valid for (if applicable). Eligible lots vary by permit; only lots associated with your specific permit will be shown in the drop-down menu. Permits are subject to space availability at the time of purchase or reservation. If a location is not available, it will be listed as “[Sold Out]”.
Review the charges on your account and select the payment method you would like to pay with. Not all products or staff are eligible for payroll deduction, so you may not see it listed. Some products are only available for purchase with a credit card online.
If you selected payroll deduction as your payment method, check the box to confirm that you understand and confirm the charges for your purchase before clicking Next to finalize.
If you selected a credit card as your payment method, you will be redirected to a screen to enter your credit card details. After entering all required information, check the box to confirm you have reviewed the applicable return policy information, before clicking Continue to finalize.
Your purchase/reservation is now complete. You will receive an email confirmation of the transaction as well.

Once logged in, you will be taken to your account dashboard. To edit the priority of your active waitlists, click Add/Edit Waitlists.
Click Next.

You can view your waitlist prioritization any time by clicking View your Waitlists or Add/Edit Waitlists from your account dashboard. Please note, however, that you will only be able to edit the priority of your waitlists from the Add/Edit Waitlists page.

Annual renewal is for customers to renew their annual transportation products, such as a parking permit, vanpool or bike locker. All annual transportation products expire on June 30 each year and must be renewed to maintain uninterrupted service.

Customers will have the opportunity every year during the month of June to renew their products for the following fiscal year. If you miss the renewal deadline, your current product or lot assignment may no longer be available and you may need to go on a waiting list.

Log into your account on the online customer portal using the Login button.
To access your full account, including the products eligible for renewal, click the UW Login option and enter your UW NetID information.
Once you’ve logged into your account, you will be taken to your account dashboard. To begin the renewal process, click Get Permits. Any outstanding citations will need to be paid before you can renew your annual products.
To manage the high volume during this busy time, the customer portal may place you in a virtual “lobby” where you will wait until you can begin your renewal transaction. You can also decide to complete your renewal at a later time, but you will lose your spot in line.
After selecting Get Permits, you’ll get to an intermediary screen where you’ll click the Next>> button to step into the Select Permit screen.
Once you make it to the Select Permit screen, you will see the permits that are eligible for annual renewal underneath a section labelled Renew Existing Permit at the top of the page. Select the permit you would like to renew. If you have multiple permits to renew, please note that you may only complete one permit renewal at a time, as permits are renewed individually. If there are permits that you do not wish to continue, you do not need to renew that product. Permit rates may vary year to year. Please review the most updated information for your permit on our website.
After selecting the permit you would like to renew, you must acknowledge that you have reviewed and will abide by Transportation Services policies and that any violation of these policies may result in a cancellation or revocation.
If you are renewing a vehicle parking permit, be sure to link your current vehicle(s) and license plate(s). To do so, check the box next to the vehicle(s) you would like linked then click Next. You may have up to five vehicles linked to your permit, but you may only park one vehicle on campus at a time. If the vehicle you would like linked to your permit is not listed or you need to add vehicle information, you can do so by clicking Add Vehicle. To avoid the risk of citation, it is important that the information of the vehicle(s) linked to your permit is accurate and up-to-date as all vehicle parking permits are enforced by License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology.
Review the charges for your permit renewal and select the payment method you would like to pay with from the dropdown menu. Click Next.
If you selected payroll deduction as your payment method, check the box to confirm that you understand and confirm the charges for your renewal before clicking Next to finalize.
If you selected a credit card as your payment method, you will be redirected to a screen to enter your credit card details. After entering all required information, check the box to confirm you have reviewed the applicable return policy information for the permit you are renewing, before clicking Continue to finalize.
Your renewal is now complete! You will receive an email confirmation of the renewal transaction as well. Remember, if you have multiple permits to renew, you will need to complete each renewal individually by following the same steps above. You can also confirm your renewal by clicking the Permits tab in the upper navigation bar, selecting View Your Permits and noting the updated expiration date of the appropriate permit.
