How do A&M rates compare to other large universities? |
See Parking Rates |
|
Why do I have to pay for parking? |
There are limits on the university that restrict the use
of state or tuition revenues to build, maintain, or operate parking operations on
campus. By university policy, Transportation Services must operate as an auxiliary
enterprise and all bond indebtedness, maintenance, administration, utilities, and
insurance must be paid for with user fees. The primary source of revenue is parking
permit sales. |
|
How were the permit prices determined? |
In previous fee increases, there had never been any real
strategy to guide Transportation Services on how to handle parking permit fees.
Therefore, we felt it necessary to have an outside source review the rules, the
demand for new services, new parking facilities, required on-going maintenance,
deferred maintenance and repairs, and new projects. Analysis was done by the Office
of Budget and Analytical Services (OBAS) to determine the appropriate permit price
that reflects the level of service provided and the cost to deliver the service
for each permit type. The proposed rates for 2007-10 were then
shared with constituents across campus. The following individuals and groups were
consulted, provided input, and in some cases approved the changes in the permit
fee structure:
- Faculty Senate Executive Committee
- Transportation Construction Committee
- Business Affairs Student Advisory Committee
- Student Body President
- Issues Committee
- Student Services Chair
- Student Fee Committee
- Tuition Policy Advisory Council
- Student Affairs

|
What kind of permits are issued? |
Lot specific, annualized, hang tag permits are issued. |
|
What if I want an adhesive permit? |
Customers wanting a window sticker may exchange the hang tag permit for a sticker
by visiting a cashier located in 108 Koldus. |
|
Do I pick up my permit or will it be mailed? |
Your permit will be mailed to the address you designated when you registered for
the permit. |
|
How do I renew my business permit? |
All faculty or staff members who want a Business Permit may request one through
their Departmental Parking Representative. Students are not eligible to receive
a Business permit. The Departmental Parking Representative is responsible for using
the Departmental Permit Registration System to request new or to renew Business
permits purchased by the department. See
Business Permit Information. |
|
If I purchased my permit online, how do I park until I
receive the permit in the mail? |
Print and display on your dashboard your receipt for the permit or log on to My Account, choose My Permits and print your permit
details page. Printed permit documents are valid for 10 days from the date of purchase.
Printed Permit Receipts Valid:
July 30 - August 15: In Summer Lots ONLY
Beginning August 16: In assigned lot ONLY.
|
|
What are the permit regulations? |
A complete set of regulations may be found on the
Regulations page. Please remember to hang permit with the photo facing the
front windshield, permits are the property of Texas A&M University and ownership
is not transferable.
If you no longer need to park on campus, please return your permit to Transportation
Services to be eligible for a pro-rated refund. (NOTE: Customers who return their
permit lose their priority as a previous customer. See
Assignment Process)
If you park in a designated 12th Man lot, please remember to move your vehicle the
evening before home games. Please look on the parking lot sign or visit our website
for 12th Man lot locations
and alternate parking areas.
Transportation Services is not responsible for damage or loss to vehicle or contents.

day except during semester breaks. See

|
Do any permits other than the night permit
convey night privileges? |
Yes. All valid TAMU parking permits may park from 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 a.m. and
on weekends in any non-restricted space in any lots other than paid parking areas
