Parking permits
ASU offers a variety of parking and permit options to support the different types of commuters coming onto ASU campuses. Sustainable commuter groups may purchase a High Occupancy Vehicle | HOV permit with special benefits and rewards.
Permits do not reserve a parking spot but allow for parking in a specific location. Parking permit prices are based on the facility's proximity to campus destinations. Each campus offers tiered permit rates that range in price.
Purchase a permit
If you have forgotten your permit, contact PTS.
Permits are always required on campus, with the exception of university holidays, excluding semester and summer break. Contact PTS for additional assistance.
ASU encourages the use of sustainable transportation through discounts and services, such as bike, campus shuttles and public transit on light rail and Valley Metro buses.
Commuter vs. Residence hall permit
Only students living in an on-campus residence hall can purchase a residence hall parking permit. Students with residence hall parking permits are the only ones authorized to park overnight. Some residence hall permits have restrictions. These restrictions are explained to customers upon permit purchase. Residence hall students cannot purchase commuter permits.
Residence hall permits are not renewable since students living on campus may change residence halls. Commuters can renew their permits for the same parking location during the permit renewal period. Residence hall students can purchase their parking permit in advance of commuters when new sales begin in July.
Leave of absence
If you are taking a leave of absence from the university, please notify PTS of your pending departure in writing.
Acceptable leaves of absences include student exchange programs, medical and military leaves and sabbaticals.
Parking permits and gate cards must be returned to your campus PTS office before your departure. A prorated refund will be issued per permit refund schedule through March 15. Refunds do not apply to employees who pay for their permit through payroll deduction.
Upon returning to campus, you may purchase a permit in your previously assigned garage or lot at a prorated price, subject to availability.
