Semester Permit Dates

• Summer 2026: May 17 - August 15
• Fall 2026: August 16 - December 31

Fees for weekly, monthly and semester permits vary based on the employee's bargaining unit. Upon logging into the Transportation Portal, you will see your permit rates per your bargaining unit. 

For those not under a bargaining unit, the parking fees are below:

It is the responsibility of the employee to:

• Request the pre-tax payroll deduction for payment for parking or transit
• Commit to continue the payroll deduction process for a minimum of six (6) months, barring extenuating circumstances (i.e., medical or sabbatical leave, etc)
• Request cancellation of their payroll deduction indefinitely (temporary cancellations will be reviewed on a case by case scenario)

To initiate a payroll deducted permit, please contact Transportation Services via email at [email protected]. 

Types of Payroll Deducted Permits

• 10-month (only available to faculty): Permit is valid only ten (10) months out of the year from August 15 - June 15, but deductions are taken out monthly (12 months out of the year)
• 12-month: Valid the whole calendar year and deductions are taken out monthly

Fees are based on the employee's bargaining unit.

Pausing Payroll Deduction

Payroll deductions are paused only in extenuating circumstances resulting in a minimum of a 2-month period in which the employee will not be at work, such as medical leave, parental leave, and sabbatical leave.

Canceling Payroll Deduction

You can cancel anytime after your 6-month commitment. If a payroll deduction is cancelled, we will not be able to reactivate your payroll deduction for 2 semester terms.

• Cancel in Spring = Reactivate in Fall
• Cancel in Summer = Reactivate in Spring
• Cancel in Fall = Reactivate in Summer

To deactivate a payroll deducted permit, please contact Transportation Services via email at [email protected]. 

Positions classified as a TA, GA or ISA through Human Resources* are eligible for faculty/staff permits. Permits can be purchased through the Transportation Portal. Permissions will be automatically updated once employee onboarding is completed. Existing permits are not automatically updated. Email [email protected] to exchange your student permit for a faculty/staff permit.

*This does not apply for SDSU Research Foundation student employment.

The SDSU Senate Policy includes parking as a benefit for those receiving emeritus status.  This only includes state staff and faculty. Only those that have been conferred by the Senate are entitled to emeritus permits.  Please see the Senate Policy File for more information regarding retiree emeritus status and benefits to see if you qualify.  If eligible, emeritus employees can obtain an emeritus permit through the online Transportation Portal.

New retiree 10+ employees are not eligible for the parking benefit unless you are conferred by the Chair of the Senate as described in the Senate Policy File. 

Motorcyle permits grant access to park in any "M" motorcycle stall, 24/7.
