CU Boulder students now have the option of purchasing daily parking permits for the discounted rate of $5 per day. 

To purchase the $5 daily permits, students will need to log in to the online parking portal. Permits will be available in select lots and the total number of available permits will vary day-to-day based on demand. Daily permits may be purchased up to a week in advance. 

Tom McGann, director of Parking Services, said the discounted daily permit provides a flexible, affordable option for students who commute to campus. “This will be especially helpful for students who bring a car to campus only a few days a week, or who need a parking option for exams,” he said.
