Time to buy new parking permits

Annual parking permits for the 2004-05 academic year for the Evanston campus are on sale.

The cost of this year’s full-time permit is $390. The increase of $14 over last year’s fee is attributed to the rise in the cost of living and planning for a north campus parking garage.

Part-time employees, those working 20 hours or less, will pay half the rate.

The daily rate will be $5.75 per day.

Parking renewal applications should be completed and returned to Parking Services.

Applications are also available at www.northwestern.edu/up/parking/Applications.htm

First-time buyers must appear in person to purchase the permit.

This year’s payroll deductions will begin in November and end in October 2005.

Guests are required to obtain a valid parking permit, display it properly and park legally in the appropriate parking lot.

The cost of the Ryan Field remote parking permit remains at $25. Ryan Field is an alternative for those who don’t want to pay the full permit rate and those who live in the walking zone and need a place to park their vehicle.
