2026-2027 Parking Updates

Parking & Transportation is introducing a streamlined renewal process for the 2026–2027 permit year (August 1, 2026 – July 31, 2027). Current permit holders will receive a renewal invitation by email on April 1 — check your spam folder if you don’t see it.

Bearly Drivers (Carpool) permit holders and anyone who received individualized instructions should follow those separate instructions rather than the renewal process.
