"Commuter Plus" UpgradeEnd the post-lunch search for a parking spot!
As we seek out ways to better serve the campus, we have heard from many faculty and staff with commuter
permits who state they have difficulty finding a parking spot when they return to campus from lunch, due to higher
demand for parking in the afternoon. As a result, we have introduced “Commuter Plus,” for faculty and
staff with commuter permits. Between noon and 2:30 p.m., if you cannot find a space upon returning to
campus, you can get a free upgrade permit at any of the parking structure kiosks, which will allow you
to park in a reserved stall for the rest of the day. Availability of these upgrades will be based on
the daily parking demand for each lot, and may change as we monitor their usage so as not to impact
holders of reserved permits. Certain lots may not be available with Commuter Plus.
Medical Permits and Disabled ParkingAll UC Irvine faculty, staff and students who park a vehicle on campus are required to display a UC Irvine Parking Permit. Persons who have been issued disabled parking placards or license plates from the Department of Motor Vehicles must register their placard or plate with the Parking Office.

Payroll Deduction
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
PLEASE NOTE: If and when necessary, Parking and Transportation Services will collect unpaid fees through future payroll deductions or through private collection agency. New HireYou may sign up for payroll deduction once your ID appears in the payroll system. To sign up for payroll deduction your appointment must be for at least 3 months and at least 50% time. Until you appear in the payroll system, you must come to the Parking and Transportation Office to purchase a temporary permit. You must also come to the Parking and Transportation Office to sign up for payroll deduction. Parking Permit ReciprocityView the policies on UCI Medical Center and other UC parking permit reciprocity.Frequently Asked Questions1. I work 20 or more hours but my department didn't/won't enter me into the payroll system as 50% or more can I still have my permit taken out on payroll deduction?No. Even though that may be the case, the payroll deduction system cannot deduct employee's that are below 50%. 2. I'm on a post-doc or on a fellowship can I qualify for payroll deduction? No. Most post-doc and fellowships are paid through outside funding and not from university funds. We cannot payroll deduct outside funding sources. 3. I was on medical leave/sabbatical for the past few months and I didn't know I had to return my permit; can I now get a refund? No. If you leave the University for any reason it is your responsibility to return your parking permit to the parking office. As long as you have the permit in your possession you are required to pay for it. We have no way of knowing if an employee is on leave until we cannot deduct you. When a person has an active permit on payroll deduction and the amount is not applied to a paycheck the amount accumulates in a suspended account until another paycheck is issued. The total amount outstanding will then be taken on your next paycheck. 4. I am leaving the university, is my permit automatically cancelled when I leave? No. Your permit is not cancelled until it has been returned to the parking office and a cancellation form is signed. 5. I came in on the 12th of the month do I have to pay for the whole month? Yes. Your permit is prorated on a daily, weekly, or monthly rate, whichever is more economical. If you purchase a permit in the middle of the month and there are two or more weeks left in the month the monthly rate will apply. After the 10th of the month a new payroll cycle begins so you won't be charged until the following month. (i.e. you come in on the 12th of March the payroll deduction cycle has closed for the April 1 pay date; you will see a double deduction on your May 1 paycheck. 6. Do I pay for my parking in advance? No. Payroll deduction is done in arrears which means on your paycheck you are paying for the month you previously parked. 7. I don't have my employee ID number yet can I still sign up for payroll deduction? No. You will need to come into the Parking Office and purchase a monthly permit. Once your ID appears in the system you may sign up for payroll deduction. 8. I'm a graduate student and I work as a Teaching/ Research Assistant can I qualify for payroll deduction? Yes. As long as you are in the payroll system as 50% or more and are not working without salary or on a fellowship. 9. I'm an emeriti professor can I still do payroll deduction? No. If you are working without salary we cannot payroll deduct you. 10. I'm an undergraduate student and I work on campus can I qualify for payroll deduction? No. If you are a student you will not qualify for payroll deduction, because undergrad appointments are usually below 50%. 11. When do I need to turn my permit in so I am not charged for the following month? The cut off date for payroll is the 10th of the month, if you return your permit to the parking office before the 10th of the month you won't be charged for parking that month. 12. What is the post/pre tax option? The pre-tax option reduces your taxable income, which means your salary is taxed on a lower income on a monthly basis. This can save you a few dollars a month. The Post-tax option taxes your whole income. 13. How do I choose the pre-tax option? Pre-tax is automatic, unless you choose to opt out of it. 14. I work through Campus Temporary Services and I work full-time do I qualify for payroll deduction? No, Campus Temporary Service employees typically aren't in the system 50% or more so we are unable to payroll deduct them. |
