Employee Parking Permit Form

There are four options of employee permits:

  • Annual = $360/permit
  • Bi-Annual = $210/permit
  • Monthly = $40/permit

There are four designated employee parking areas Downtown. These areas include:

The area designated as 2-hour free parking is free all day for employees. This lot is also available for overnight parking in the EAST end of the lot year-round and long-term parking in designated spaces only.
