FAQ
Yes, you can share your UTSC parking permit with a friend or co-worker. You must register all vehicles with the Parking Services Office and only one prox card will be issued for each permit. Only one of the registered vehicles can be parked on campus using the permit/prox card at any one time.
The current parking permit options are priced to be more economical if you are on campus the majority of the work week or need to come and go from the campus multiple times in a day. For those who are on campus less frequently, the hourly short term or daily flat rate lots will be your most economical option.
Due to the reduced number of available parking spaces, the number of parking permits available for purchase will be limited to reflect our current parking lot capacity. As always, parking permits are sold on a first come first served basis. While parking passes have not sold out in past years, there is no guarantee of availability.
Permit Holder parking lots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The number of permits sold for each parking lot is based on inventory and utilization data and we expect during normal operations there will be spaces available. However, there is no guarantee of availability, particularly during peak demand periods.
