Parking on campus will soon be a lot more expensive. The President's cabinet has approved a fee increase for parking permits, which will go into effect next fall. Red permits for faculty and staff will rise from 225 dollars to 265 dollars. Green residence hall and apartment permits will go up 35 dollars, from 210 to 245 dollars. Purple commuter permits will be 105 dollars, a ten dollar increase. According to Parking Services, the increased fees are needed to help pay for new parking garages on campus as well as higher operating expenses.
