Registration and Fees
All vehicles parked on University property must be registered and display a valid Rutgers permit. Vehicle registration is a personal obligation and non-receipt of registration materials does not excuse failure to register. Register vehicles for your use only. To register a vehicle for another person’s use through false information constitutes fraud. Parking permits are intended for use by the registrant only and possession of another person’s permit does not grant you their privileges. Use of counterfeit, stolen or altered permits is illegal. Violators are subject to towing, fines, revocation of privileges, and judicial action.

Faculty/Staff
Annual vehicle registration begins in August for Type-6 and Type-7 employees, and in December for all Type-1 and Type-4 employees. Departments are granted a specific number of daytime allocations annually. The names of eligible employees are furnished to the Commuter Transit and Parking Services office from the various departments, and parking privileges are allocated based on the employee's department's instructions. Permits may be procured by mail or in person. An optional six-payment, pre-tax, payroll deduction plan is available for Type-1 and Type-6 employees. Employees not granted a departmental allocation are permitted to purchase an evening permit that will enable access to the faculty/staff lots after 3:00 PM Monday through Friday and all day on Saturday and Sunday. Faculty or staff members with unpaid citations at the beginning of each permit year will be refused vehicle registration privileges until all citations are satisfied.
Faculty and Staff Fees
Faculty/Staff and Teaching Asst./Graduate Asst. permit fees are based on salary; the minimum fee is .001 x the annual salary. Co-adjuncts and Part-time lecturers (job class codes 99902 and 99905) pay $25 annually. Other temporary or part-time/hourly employees pay $80 annually. Stated fees pertain to single vehicle registrations. A $10.00 fee is charged for each additional vehicle that is registered.
Please Note: Temporary employees (Type 4) are not eligible for payroll deductions. Work-study individuals (Type 5) are not eligible for Faculty/Staff parking but may purchase student parking permits.
Loaner, Renter, Disabled Vehicle Policy
A temporary hangtag can be issued to a student, faculty, and staff to use with a loaner or rental vehicle in the event that a vehicle (pre-registered with Rutgers Parking) is either stolen or in a garage for repair. A loaner vehicle is defined herein as a vehicle provided by a qualified repair shop or motor vehicle dealership for use by their customers while the customer's vehicle is being repaired by that establishment. A rental vehicle is defined as any vehicle that is rented from a qualified car rental establishment. Neither definition includes vehicles that are loaned or rented amongst friends or family members. Verification of the incident must be provided to the Parking Office. (i.e. body shop work order, police report, or mechanic shop work order). The temporary hangtag will be issued for a time period no greater than two weeks. The temporary hangtag will replace both the original hangtag and the sticker during the temporary time period. Please Note: If your loaner or rental is not registered a citation will be issued. Please bring the loaner or rental registration or agreement to the Parking Office located in Blumenthal Hall Room 209 to obtain the temporary permit.
Newly Hired Employees should inquire with department chair or designate regarding availability of allocated spaces. Space permitting, new employees may apply for parking with written requests from the employing department to the Office of Parking and Commuter Services.
ID Cards
When assigned to a gated faculty/staff lot, your ID will be activated (hangtag and sticker) with the initial permit purchase. A $20 fee is charged for a replacement ID card. ID cards are the property of Rutgers University and must be returned to the Office of Parking and Transportation Services located at 200 University Ave upon request or upon an employee’s termination/resignation.
New Brunswick employees needing to park at Newark Campus must have valid Rutgers University permit (hangtag and sticker) and notify Parking and Commuter services to have IDs activated for access to lots.

A replacement fee of full value (discounted over time) is required in all instances for faculty, staff, and students. CTPS requires that the original receipt be presented to qualify for a replacement.
How To Display Permits
A Rutgers’ permit is a two-part permit system: a hangtag to be suspended from your rearview mirror, plus a small color-matched window sticker that must be permanently adhered to the left side window behind the driver. You may register as many additional vehicles as you need (at an additional charge) and you will be given a sticker for each vehicle, but only one hangtag. You may not have multiple vehicles on campus at the same time. The hangtag must be transferred to the vehicle in use. A permit is valid only if the hangtag and the window sticker are displayed simultaneously.
