How do A&M rates compare to other large universities? |
See Parking Comparison Summary (Full Results) (PDF version) |
|
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 was not a
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:
|
|
What if I want an adhesive permit? |
Customers wanting a window sticker may exchange the hang tag permit for a dry seal sticker
by visiting a cashier located in 108 Koldus. |
| What if I do not have a rear view mirror to hang my permit on? |
Visit 108 Koldus to request a permit pouch to adhere to the lower right passenger side corner of the windshield. |
|
Do I pick up my permit or will it be mailed? |
Your permit will be mailed to the address you designate when you register or purchase the permit online. You may not pick up your permit from the Transportation Services office. |
|
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 the permit receipt and display it on your dashboard as a temporary permit until you receive your permanent hangtag in the mail. This receipt (temporary permit) is valid for 14 days from the purchase date. If the permit is for a gated area, you may swipe your Aggie ID at the gate to enter/exit the facility.
Printed Permit Receipts Valid:
July 19- August 16: In Summer Lots ONLY
Beginning August 17: 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 are only valid if purchased from Transportation Services.
If you no longer need to park on campus, please return your permit to Transportation
Services Customer Assistance Center (1250 TAMU or 108 Koldus) to be eligible for a prorated 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 at the parking lot sign or visit our Gameday Restrictions section for 12th Man lot locations
and alternate parking areas.
Transportation Services is not responsible for damage or loss to vehicle or contents. |
|
What is a Night permit? |
Night permits are valid from 5pm - 6am daily in the areas designated on the Night Parking Map.
Night permits are not valid during the day except during semester breaks indicated on the Break Parking Map. |
|
Do any permits other than the Night permit
convey night privileges? |
Yes. All valid TAMU parking permits may park from 5:00 pm – 6:00 am and
on weekends in any non-restricted space in any lots other than paid parking areas
and ones with residential priority (Lot 30 and Lot 40). |
|
Are there any areas other than my assigned lot where my permit
is valid during the day? |
Yes. The following areas are valid at all times (except when parking is restricted
due to a special event or construction project) with ANY VALID TAMU PERMIT:
NOTE: Night permits are ONLY valid at night, and are not valid in any lot prior to 5:00 pm, except during semester breaks. |
|
How do I register for a Motorcycle, Night or Lot 100
permit? |
During permit registration (April 10 - July 9, 2013), log in and request one of these permits.
After permit registration (August 1, 2013) , log in and purchase a Motorcycle,
Night, or Lot 100 permit. These permit types are
available on a first-come, first-served basis, but we normally do not sell out.
|
|
If I already have a vehicle permit, can I purchase a Motorcycle
permit? |
If you purchase a full-price, annual, vehicle permit (not a night permit), a Motorcycle permit
is available for purchase at half price. If the Motorcycle permit is not requested along with the vehicle permit during registration (April 10 - July 9, 2013), you must bring your picture ID to 108 Koldus to purchase the half price permit. |
