Employee Parking

Parking in University of Vermont campus lots requires a University of Vermont parking permit. Employees may be asked to provide a valid UVM ID or proof of employment in order to show eligibility for a University of Vermont parking permit. Location eligibility is determined by the work address of the employee in accordance with Human Resources records.

Access to spaces closer to core campus buildings (known as 'Green Zone' parking) will be allocated to faculty and staff based on a waitlist. Employees must request to be placed on a waitlist and will be notified by email when space becomes available. There is no waitlist for 'White Zone' parking.

Vehicles showing under the parking permits must be current at all times. You may contact our office for assistance, or you may add or delete vehicles from your permit by clicking on Apply for Permit/Manage Your Parking Account in the menu to the right.

University of Vermont parking permits are non-transferable. If an employee's status changes and they are no longer eligible, they must return their parking permit to our office. The use of a parking permit by any other individual constitutes a violation.

Occasional Use Parking Permit

Notice! Beginning Spring Semester 2021, Complimentary Occasional Use Placards will no longer be available. Please refer to the rates below.

Occasional Use permits are designed to accomodate those who may commute to campus, but only have an intermittent need to park in campus lots. All employees are eligible to purchase Occasional Use permits for their parking needs. Each permit has six individual days of parking; the permit holder fills out one day of parking when needed and displays the permit on their dash. Failure to display a completed permit may result in a citation. Permits can be purchased by the full card (six days) or at the daily rate for less than the full card.

Brown Zone: $2 per day/$12 per six-day card
White Zone: $3 per day/$18 per six-day card
Green Zone: $4 per day/$24 per six-day card

Location eligibility is determined by the zone of the permit that was previously held, or if no permit held previously, eligibility of a White or Brown Zone will be based on the work address of the employee in accordance with Human Resources records.

Occasional use permits follow the same permit cycle as regular permits (June 1st – May 31). Previously issued permits will expire on May 31st. Anyone wishing to continue with program must reapply.

The customer is responsible for filling in the "expires" area of the permit with the date the permit is being used with an indelible marker provided by Transportation and Parking Services. These permits are valid only in the area as indicated in writing on the front of the permit. Any use of permits for purposes other than intended, or failure to fill in an expiration date, or failure to display the permit clearly on the dash may result in a violation being issued or may result in the loss of eligibility for this program.
