Parking
permit holders to see nominal increase
Parking
permit prices will increase for the first time in two years,
effective with 2003-2004 permits.
Rising
operation costs have forced us to increase permit prices,
said Josh Kavanagh, associate director of Parking and Transportation
Services, but we have worked hard to keep the increase
to an absolute minimum.
The price
of faculty and staff permits will increase by five percent,
an average of four cents per day.
Student
permit prices will increase by $5, and all other UNM permit
prices will increase by five percent. Faculty and staff permit
sales begin July 1. Payroll deduction permits for faculty and
staff will be automatically renewed. Payroll deduction customers
should check that their address with Human resources is current
to avoid delays in permit shipping. Permits will be shipped
August 1.
Non-payroll
deduction permit sales begin July 1 online at www.unm.edu/parking.
