Parking permit price won't rise, but meter rate will

April 20, 2015

Several decisions about parking and shuttle services were made after UAF Parking Services received more than 500 responses to a survey.

The survey is now closed. Parking Services thanks all participants.

Here are some of the decisions:

Zone parking will not be explored at this time. It was not well received.

Parking permit prices will not increase in the coming year.

The student transportation fee, which is now $13 and has never been increased, will rise to $15 for the fall 2015 semester. Students who are enrolled in four or more credits in the Fairbanks area pay the fee. It also will increase $2 per academic year for two more years after 2015. The transportation fee partially funds campus shuttle service.

Parking meter rates and day pass prices will increase, respectively, to 75 cents per hour and $5 per day. Current prices, which also never have increased, are 50 cents per hour and $3 per day.
