Employees who are purchasing a permit for the first time are required to provide a photo ID to validate their status in the Human Resources Management System (HRMS).
If the employee's information is not in HRMS, the employee must ask his or her Payroll representative to complete and sign an Employment Verification Form, which must be filled out accurately and in full. In 30 days from the date of purchase, HRMS will be checked to confirm that the information on the Employment Verification Form has been uploaded. If HRMS is still not updated, the employee may be required to return the permit.
Please note: employees are required to inform Parking and Transportation Customer Service of any change in employment.

Contact the P&T office for more information on how to start or cancel payroll deduction of your permit fees.
Renew a Faculty or Staff Permit
Parking & Transportation will not be offering automatic renewal this year for parking permits and the Bear Pass due to changes in administrative procedures and P&T’s use of the commuter benefit vendor, WageWorks.

- The annual renewal period for 2008-2009 annual parking permits and the AC Transit Bear Pass paid through payroll deduction begins on Monday, June 16, 2008. Permit holders and Bear Pass holders paying by payroll deduction will need to take action between June 16th and July 10th in order to be mailed a permit or pass prior to August 1st.
- Cash, check and credit purchases for parking permits and the Bear Pass begins on Wednesday, June 16 , 2008 at the Parking & Transportation office. There will be no on-line credit card permit sales offered this year, so customers will need to come to P&T.
