If you already have a University parking permit and simply need to add/delete a vehicle from your record, you can log in to My Transportation and make changes to your account. Once logged in to the portal: 

• Scroll down to your active permit -- look for the blue square (alt text "Active Permit") on the left.

• You can view which vehicles are already attached to your permit by clicking on the vehicle icon (alt text "View Vehicles").

• To add a vehicle, click on the plus sign (alt text "Add") and input your vehicle information. Note: use the rental car option when registering the vehicle, which will allow you to set an expiration date for any rented or borrowed vehicle.   

Any temporary or loaner vehicle will need to be added to your account to be covered by your existing parking permit.

Parking zone assignments are based on your primary campus building in the University’s PeopleSoft system. In general, zones are divided by the major roadways on campus (west of Washington Road, east of Washington Road and north of Prospect Avenue, east of Washington Road and south of Prospect Avenue, and off-campus facilities). You can view all zone assignments by building here. 

A small number of campus lots are not included in any zone, as these lots contain fewer than 60 spaces and/or are included in lease agreements with campus partners that limits the number of available commuter spaces. These lots continue to be restricted to permit holders only.

A University parking permit does not guarantee space in your assigned zone at any given time. If there is no available parking spaces in your assigned zone, please proceed to Stadium Drive Garage, which offers frequent, convenient transit service to stops on Washington Road, Nassau Street, and University Place.

Real-time parking availability for Theater Drive Garage, Prospect Avenue Garage, Stadium Drive Garage, and P20 is available online on the Princeton Mobile app. Real-time availability signage is available for select facilities as you approach the entrance. TPS will continue to monitor daily parking utilization across campus and adjust assignments as needed.

If the zone assigned to you in the MyTransportation portal is not what you were expecting or you have multiple campus office locations, your building information on file may need to be updated.

Please contact the Service Point for assistance at [email protected] or 609.258.8300.  

During peak academic work hours—7 AM to 4 PM weekdays—you must park in your permitted zone only. After 4 PM on weekdays, during weekends and holidays, all unrestricted lots on campus are available. The following lots on campus are restricted to permit holders only at all times: P8, P9, P15, P22, P52, Campus Club, and Cannon Club.

Vehicles may not stop in marked "no parking" zones or fire lanes, nor impede access to the following: buildings, pedestrian pathways and crossings, and ADA parking spaces.While parked for loading/unloading, the vehicle must have flashers on. Parking for longer than 15 minutes, even with flashers on, may result in a citation.

If you need access via Elm Drive, authorization is required at least two business days in advance. Please complete the Elm Drive Access Form.

When needed for University business, faculty and staff permit holders may park their registered vehicle in their permitted zone for up to two consecutive days. Overnight parking for more than two consecutive days, when traveling on University business, requires contacting The Service Point in advance. Failure to do so may result in a citation.

Your vehicle may not remain parked in any University parking lot if you have sublet your unit or your housing contract has expired.
