Downtown Phoenix campus
New 2024–25 parking permit ratesSome Downtown Phoenix campus parking locations will increase annual permit prices in the 2024–25 academic year.
ASU leases most of its parking spaces on the Downtown Phoenix campus to serve students and employees. The price of the leased spaces has significantly increased in recent years. ASU must raise its permit prices to match current operational costs; the university will not gain additional revenue. |
Frequent commuters to the Downtown Phoenix campus may choose among three permit options; automobile, motorcycle and sustainable. Purchase a permit via the transportation portal. Daily and hourly options are available across campus.
ASU encourages the use of sustainable transportation through discounts and services, such as bike, campus shuttles and public transit on Valley Metro light rail and buses.
Automobile permits
Sun Devils can purchase an annual permit. This permit is most cost-effective for students, faculty and staff who plan to be on campus three or more days each week. Display your hangtag permit facing outward for your automobile’s rearview mirror. Automobiles with permits that are not visible may be cited.
Parking permits for garages use a loop system. The permit allows for one entry and exit at a time. Sharing a permit to avoid hourly parking rates may result in a citation, facility fees or loss of parking privileges.

Motorcycle permit
Motorcycle permits allow for parking in designated motorcycle stalls in non-visitor lots on all four campuses. Any moped, motorcycle or scooter that has a VIN number and is required to be licensed with the Department of Motor Vehicles must display a valid ASU motorcycle parking permit or pay the posted rate when parked on ASU property.
Visitors traveling by motorcycle may park in any available metered space or vehicle stall in visitor surface lots and pay the posted rate. See hourly and daily parking options.
Two types of permits are available:
Surface lot-only motorcycle permit
- Valid in MC permit spaces in the Health North Lot.
- $280.
Garage and surface motorcycle permit
Permit valid in all MC surface lots as well as in MC spaces within this garage:
- MC spaces within the University Center garage.

If you purchase either type of motorcycle permit but occasionally need to bring a vehicle to campus, you can display your motorcycle permit in your vehicle on a conversion tag and park in Fourth Avenue Perimeter Lot. Conversion tags are available free of charge at any campus PTS customer service office.
Sustainable permits
HOV permits
Share the ride to campus. Permit holders who rideshare to campus may exchange their annual parking permit for a High Occupancy Vehicle permit in the same location. A customer must purchase a permit for an HOV-eligible facility before applying for an HOV permit. Perks of an HOV permit include:
- Divide the cost of a regular permit — division of cost is handled by members of the group.
- Each individual within the HOV group, other than the primary permit holder, is given three all-day validation tickets to use in the visitor parking garages on days when ride-sharing is not feasible.
- Additional validation tickets may be purchased by HOV group participants in person at any campus PTS customer service office.
- Park in specially marked spaces that are typically located on the group level of a parking garage or located close to the parking facility's entrance.
HOV permits are available for:
- One stall each in the Health South garage and University Center garage.
HOV permits are not available to students living on campus. HOV carpool users are not allowed to have individual parking permits.
