Faculty/Staff Incentives
Employees who meet the qualification requirements may register for the
Employee Alternate Commute Incentive Program. Employees must
register annually to receive incentives.
Summary of Changes to Commuter Incentives
ST Permit (formerly ATA Permit): In an effort
to continually streamline processes, we have developed an online system
for you to retrieve your ST parking permits. Over the years, we have received
feedback from participants that using the hangtags has resulted
in many unwarranted citations. Therefore, we are pleased to bring an easy
solution to eliminate those citations. Just think-you no longer have to
search for a pen, remember to date the hangtag, or worry about the hangtag
falling from the mirror.
All you need to do is stop at any of the five kiosks, give your name
to the attendant, obtain your permit and off you go. All kiosk hours will
be extended this coming Fall, 7:00am to 8:00pm. For kiosk locations and
hours of operation, please visit https://www.parking.uci.edu/reservations/default.cfm
.
Good News: Your daily parking permits are valid either in general or unmarked stalls or AR/Reserved stalls.
You will be deducted (kiosk system) one-day of parking regardless of where you park (either general unmarked stalls or AR/Reserved stalls).
Participants who have the permits sent to them in advance need only date one permit to park in AR/Reserved stalls. Daily parking permits are NOT valid overnight.
We are excited about this change, as we continue to look for ways to improve the Sustainable Transportation program.
The attendant can let you know the remaining number of days for your
online permit. Permits are currently not valid in lots 3* or
80. Any unused parking at the end of each fiscal year (JUNE 30th) will
not carry over to the following year.
Greenhouse Cash: Greenhouse Cash is available only to walkers and bikers.
Greenhouse Cash Usage: Greenhouse Cash
may be used to purchase one-day parking permits, to purchase food from
the UCI Bookstore, Phoenix Grille, Café Med, BC's Cavern on the Green, and University Club.
Greenhouse Cash that is lost, misplaced, or stolen, unfortunately, can not
be replaced. Greenhouse Cash is not redeemable for their cash value and no change is given during transactions.
Additional Information on ST Incentives
Participants, depending on their mode of transportation,
may choose between online parking
permits or Greenhouse Cash. Incentives are not interchangeable. Permits are
non-transferable and may be used only by the person to whom they are issued.
Greenhouse Cash is distributed by June 30th and are sent via campus mail.
Participants can change their incentive preference in June during the annual rideshare renewal period only. Participants
who terminate, or are terminated, from participation in an Sustainable Transportation Program are required to return remaining incentives.
Calculating your ST Incentives

For example: a Walker receives:

$40.00 of Greenhouse Cash |
SPECIAL NOTE TO ST RECIPIENTS: Greenhouse Cash that
is lost or stolen during delivery WILL NOT BE REPLACED.
Participation in UCI's Sustainable Transportation Program
is a privilege and not a right of employment or enrollment at UCI. Sustainable Transportation Management may refuse participation privileges to anyone
who does not meet qualification requirements.
Failure to practice good conduct or abuse of incentives
may result in revocation of program participation and incentive privileges.
Employees with an appointment for less than a year must
also re-register for the Sustainable Transportation program in the Parking and Transportation Services
Office during the year. Incentives are not automatically sent to participants
during mid-year.

Rules and Guidelines for How to Use a CSA Permit
DISPLAY OF A PERMIT FILLED OUT INCORRECTLY WILL RESULT IN A CITATION.
PLEASE FOLLOW DIRECTIONS:
- USE ONLY INK PENS
- Dates written in pencil or date boxes that are left blank are not valid and will result in a parking citation.
- If permit is mis-dated, immediately contact the Parking & Transportation Office to be reissued a daily permit.
- Print the date and circle the corresponding day of the week. Each ‘date box’ must have written date and day of week circled to be valid.
- Use boxes in numerical order. Using boxes out of order will result in citation.
- Permit is valid in general or reserved stalls when dated properly; the permit is NOT valid in service or metered stalls. Not valid in Lot 80.
- Using this permit after dissolution of a carpool or cancellation or participation in the Commuter Services program will result in the issuance of two parking citations.
Altered permit citations ($300) will not be reduced, voided or otherwise dismissed. Please call the Commuter Services Office at x45060 if you have any
questions regarding the Commuter Services permit.
