Congratulations on joining UW as a resident or fellow. There are many parking options available to you as an employee and we invite you to learn more about them at our Faculty & staff parking page. If you have further questions after reviewing this information online, contact Transportation Services at ucommute@uw.edu.
The following two options are available pay-as-you-go parking options.
Pay-per-use parking (PPUP)
As a Pay-per-use parking permit holder you will only be charged for the days you actually park. PPUP must be paid for with payroll deductions through UW payroll. You will be billed at the end of each pay period.
Pay-per-use parking is available to new residents and fellows in the Portage Bay Garage. Other PPUP locations, such as E12, are subject to space availability. If you are interested in parking elsewhere, please indicate this on the PPUP application form.
The rate for PPUP is $9.84/day (effective July 1, 2024).
Follow the Sign up for Pay-per-use parking instructions below to get started.
Daily permits
Daily permits can be purchased in certain lots for same-day parking or for a specific day up to two weeks in advance. They can be purchased online with a credit card. Lot selections are based on space availability at the time of purchase. Daily permits are not available in all lots.
The rate for a Daily permit is $9.84/day or $3.28/night (effective July 1, 2024).
Return policy: You may only return Daily permits for future days paid and they can be returned up to the day before they are active. Daily permits cannot be returned for days past, even if unused. Review our return policy for more information.
Follow the Sign up for Daily permit parking instructions below to get started.
If you purchase or sign up for one of these options, the other option will not be available to you (ex. If you sign up for Pay-per-use parking, you will be unable to purchase Daily permits).
