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 range from 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.

Additional Information on ST Incentives

Participants, depending on their mode of transportation, may choose between online parking permits or CSA hangtags. Permits are non-transferable and may be used only by the person to whom they are issued. 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.

NOTE: Incentives are designed to encourage participation in new and "greener" modes of transportation. Incentives are provided until allotted funding is depleted.

SPECIAL NOTE TO ST RECIPIENTS: All ST incentives must be picked up by the last day of the qualifying month.

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.

PLEASE FOLLOW DIRECTIONS:

1. USE ONLY INK PENS
