Good morning,
With the exception of commuter students, Penn State University policy does not allow undergraduate students to park on campus until they've completed at least 29.1 credits.
Below is information on student parking at Penn State's University Park ("main") campus:
1 - Do you charge per semester or is it an annual pass?We offer dual-semester (Fall/spring) and single semester (fall, spring, summer) permits.
2 - What are the parking zones and fee amounts?
Resident core lots - six distinct parking areas located in the vicinity of six different resident hall areasFall/spring - $640
Single semester (fall or spring) - $320
Summer (all sessions) - $207
Summer (summer session II only) - $102
*One of these lots is priced differently, as a permit is included as part of the student's lease rate with Housing (this is primarily graduate student housing)*
Resident long-term storage - available to all eligible resident studentsFall/spring - $316
Single semester (fall or spring) - $158
Summer (all sessions) - $102
Summer (summer session II only) - $51
Off-campus long-term storage - available to all eligible students living off campus who need overnight, on-campus vehicle storageFall/spring - $398
Single semester (fall or spring) - $199
Summer (all sessions) - $TBD for 2019

Single semester (fall or spring) - $45

3 - Does your bursar collect the permit amounts (goes on student account in your SIS)? Or is payment made through another system (for example T2)?
Student permit registration is done online using T2's online parking portal, with payment required at the time of purchase by credit card.
4 - Do you charge everyone or only those that request a permit?
All campus parking areas are reserved, either during select hours or 24/7. During reserved hours, use of a parking areas requires purchase of a valid permit or payment of an hourly fee (if available), whether they're an employee, student or visitor. Most of our student lots are exclusively for students, while visitor parking is offered in select areas also used by faculty and staff.
5 - Are visitors required to get a permit?
Yes, visitors must purchase a permit or pay the hourly rate during reserved hours.
6 - Do you charge visitors, if so how much?$8 for one-day permit or $1 per hour
If you have any questions, please let me know.

HI Kerri,
Your questions: who to charge, how to charge them, and how much to charge--are important ones.
A couple more that you may wish to consider:
- Why are you considering charging for parking?
- To moderate demand?
- To balance use in the system (between crowded and underutilized areas)?
- To fund the parking operation?
- To fund parking and transportation?
- To fund functions outside of parking?
- To fund future capital investments?
- What will you do to enhance value, so customers feel that they are getting their money's worth?
- How transparent are you prepared to be? There is less pushback if people understand for what they are paying.
- How will you address questions of fairness, equity, and social/economic justice?
- Will you need additional staff or controls?
I'm happy to discuss over email or by phone. Please feel free to reach out.
Sincerely,
