Below is a list of things to give you a little more information about parking, prices, tickets and more! For more information and a detailed list of parking policies, check out parking.gmu.edu.

Permit Prices

According to Josh Cantor, Director of Parking and Transportation, here are the basic permit prices for the 2009 - 2010 school year:

General Lot Permit: $225 (was $200)
Reserved Deck Permit: $450 (was $400)
Lot I Reserved: $340 (was $300)
West Campus (freshman residents still required to park in West Campus): Remains at $90

**Please keep in mind, parking permits are set at the lowest level that will allow the operation to break even.

"With the new Rappahannock River Parking Deck opening in August, we begin paying debt service on it which forced us to increase the price some," said Cantor.
