Transportation Services recognizes that flexibility is among our customers’ greatest needs. With the uncertainty of the pandemic and new hybrid work schedules, customers’ ability to choose their commute mode each day has never been more important. We’ve adjusted our operational model to support our fellow Tritons by providing:
Tax-advantaged purchasing for bundles of prepaid parking days
Consecutive-day permits that eliminate over buying vs. monthly, quarterly and annual permits
New tools through Triton Commuter Club to help with commute planning, ride matching and incentives for the days you leave your car at home or work remotely
We have maintained parking rates at 2019 levels; however, our staffing and supplier costs have increased. As a result, many parking permit prices will increase for purchases made or billed after July 28, 2022, with a maximum increase of $0.45 per day for UC San Diego commuters and no rate increase for the D “Discount” permit or the Super Saver lots P782 and P386. Permit prices can be viewed on our website.
In addition to keeping D and Super Saver rates the same for another year, we’re delighted to offer several low- and no-cost commute options that can help you both save money and reduce the environmental impact of your commute. To help you find and evaluate options, we’ve reorganized our website to highlight resources for specific university community groups, including:
For those that want to transition from driving and parking to riding transit, we encourage you to explore the new VC-50 for Transit Pilot Program. With this new pilot program, you may be eligible for a free bus and trolley pass for the next three months and a reduced cost of just $27 per month thereafter (in contrast to the MTS $72 retail rate).
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Rodgers Director of Parking & Commuter Information
