Reciprocal Contract Parking Privileges

Reciprocal Parking 

Faculty and staff with 24/7 parking contracts may park in a specific location on each bank of the campus, if space is available. 

  • Reciprocal Parking is not available for student contracts, night contracts, and contracts shared by groups of people, such as departmental contracts and card pool groups.
  • Reciprocal space is not guaranteed. When event rates are in effect or PTS must accommodate a large group reservation, space availability is at the discretion of the parking attendant on duty.
  • Reciprocal Parking hours are 24/7.
  • PTS monitors the use of reciprocal parking. At least 50% of contract use must be at the primary facility.
How to Enter

Hangtag contract holders:  use your U Card, link your license plate to your contract to use license plate recognition (LPR) technology or purchase a PTS Parking Card for $20. If you have any difficulties, take a ticket at the entrance and press the help button at exit to speak to a customer service representative. The representative will confirm your contract and raise the gate to allow your exit. 

Other contract holders: use your U Card, a PTS Parking Card, or license plate recognition (LPR).  If none of these are possible, take a ticket at the entrance and press the help button at exit to speak to a customer service representative. The representative will confirm your contract and raise the gate to allow your exit.
