Official TAPS site: Parking Rates
-
Primero Grove parking permits are only 3 dollars if you are a resident.
-
An M permit can be used with your car during night parking.
-
All quarterly permits went up three dollars a day at the beginning of FY 2005-06.
-
UCD Parking permits are valid at other campuses as well. Although I haven't tried it on a weekday, evening and weekend parking on other UC campuses is free with the UCD permit. I learned this years ago, and haven't tried it recently, but it should be valid. —RC
