Additional Information for staff and faculty using payroll deduction for their 2019-20 parking permit:

• Payroll deductions will continue during this interim period unless you opt out in PiratePort by June 30, 2020, by selecting the Parking and Transportation option.
• If you choose to opt out of the payroll deduction now, and want to purchase a permit in September, you will have to pay the full annual permit price at that time.
• If you have an A Zone permit, you must continue your payroll deduction or your A zone permit will be offered to other eligible employees on the waiting list. You will not have the opportunity to renew an A Zone permit this fall, if you do not continue payroll deduction.
• Staff and faculty are encouraged to continue their payroll deduction, and simply renew their permit when announced this fall. No action is needed at this time, if you continue your payroll deduction.

Additional Information for staff and faculty who paid in full for their 2019-20 parking permit at the time of the order:

• If you paid in full for your 2019-20 permit when ordering (cash, check, credit card), you may continue to use that permit until September.
