Parking Permits (PBC)
Parking and Transportation Services at PBC offer several parking permit options designed to meet diverse parking needs. Below you will find important dates, permit types and rates, instructions on cancellations, waitlists, and exchanges.
Parking & Transportation Services reserves the right to reserve parking lots and garages, either partially or entirely, for special events, construction, or maintenance purposes. Permit holders of the assigned garage/lot will receive notifications via their Arizona email addresses regarding relocation parking areas during these times.
The responsibility of finding a legal parking space rests with the vehicle operator. A parking permit does not guarantee a parking space. However, it does grant the privilege to park in one space in the designated area when parking is available. Inability to find a space does not constitute a license to violate these regulations. If a permit holder cannot find a parking space, they should contact Parking & Transportation Services dispatch office at (520) 621-1108 for guidance.

Permit validity periods vary based on the type of permit. Permits costs and refunds are prorated bi-weekly from their effective start date. Please review the validity dates specific to your permit.
Annual Permits
Valid Aug to Aug, or from purchase. Check Parking Portal for details.

They may be used as often as needed within the total usage limit. Flexible permits are not reloadable but are refundable based on the number of unused entries remaining.
Payment can be made through payroll deduction, though auto-renewal is not available. These permits cannot be combined with annual permits and are not valid for special event parking. Current permit holders who wish to switch to a flexible option should email transportation@arizona.edu.
