Parking Services

We are excited to announce important updates to our campus parking system designed to improve efficiency and create a smoother, more accessible experience for everyone. As part of this initiative, we will be transitioning from a reserved parking model to a lot-based parking system.

We are in the process of implementing these changes over the summer. Additional information, including updated parking maps and permit guidelines, will be shared with you shortly.

• Elimination of Reserved Parking: Reserved spaces will be phased out in favor of a lot-based parking system. Key lots, such as BCB and the area behind Hartnett, will transition to general faculty/staff parking, ensuring ample parking for employees. 
• Lot-Based Parking Designation: Each campus parking lot will now be assigned specific designations (e.g., student, employee, or general parking) to streamline parking and make it easier to find available spaces. 
• Payroll Deduction & Virtual Registration for Employees: Employees can now enroll in payroll deduction, making automatic annual permit renewals easier. If you change vehicles, you can update your information online at any time. 
• Mobile License Plate Recognition (LPR) for Enforcement: We are introducing mobile LPR technology for enhanced enforcement. Two Kubota vehicles will patrol campus to monitor compliance and ensure that parking regulations are followed.
• AMP Mobile Pay for High-Traffic Areas: For high-demand parking areas like the Student Union Loop, we will introduce a mobile pay system, allowing for short-term parking when visiting dining areas, the bookstore, and other campus services.

• Increased Parking Availability: Eliminating reserved spaces creates more flexible and efficient parking options for everyone. 
• Reduced Congestion: Lot-based parking designations will help improve traffic flow and make finding a parking spot easier.
• Fair & Accessible Parking: The new system ensures equitable parking access for all students, faculty, and staff.

Annual Parking Permits are required to park at ASU. These permits expire on the night of August 31 each year and must be activated to park at ASU for the following year. Online activation for Annual Parking Permits for the current academic year opens on August 1.

Permits are virtual and verified by license plate. Activate your permit and link your vehicle(s) online. Linked vehicle license plates must be visible at all times. Do not back into or pull through parking spaces.
