Parking and Transportation

Do you have to have a parking permit?

Parking permits are required for all vehicles parking at the University of South Florida 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Each person may purchase only one vehicle permit (additional permit for motorcycle and/or bicycle are allowed). Permit campus designation is based on home campus/class location. Parking permit fees vary based on parking lot location. If you don’t have a permit, you must park at a metered parking space. (For additional permit information, call 974-3990 or visit our website, listed below).

Do Visitors need a parking permit?

The Fee is applicable to visitors and event attendees that park in the following visitor lots: Crescent Hill Garage, lots 3C, 3D, 6, 18, 19, 23, 35, 38C, 38T, or, visitors can choose metered parking during their visit. Visitors and event attendees may continue to park free (with a courtesy permit for Park-N-Ride lots issued by Parking and Transportation Services) in lots 43, 18A, and 18B and take advantage of the Campus Shuttle to travel to their destinations on campus (Faculty, staff, students and vendors will not be eligible for these permits).

What happens if you get a parking ticket?

Parking regulations are designed to provide safe and orderly parking. Violation of these regulations can result in parking citations, immobilization of your vehicle, towing, or loss of parking privileges. Creating, modifying, or altering a parking permit is a serious parking violation and will result in immediate immobilization or towing of the vehicle. Respond to parking citations within 7 business days of issuance to avoid late fees. Most common citations are for no decal, expired parking meter, and parking out of assigned area.
