Those with permits who aren’t returning to campus now were able put their permit on hold this month and not be charged, if they completed the Faculty/Staff Permit Payroll Deduction Request Form by July 6.
Putting your permit on hold does not mean you lose your permit, nor does it mean you will be placed on the waitlist for parking permits. If you choose to place your permit on hold, you will not be required to return your permit, but it will not be valid to use for the month it’s on hold.
Check the Parking, Transportation & Services website regularly for any updates about parking permits and daily rates.
If you have any questions, contact the Pitt Parking Office at 412-624-4034 or email parking@bc.pitt.edu.
