Hybrid Work/School Options
Parking Options for Hybrid Work/School
Telework and hybird work are being embraced at USF for many roles, while a mixed schedule of in-person and online courses has been more widely adopted among students. Occasionally, those taking one of the approaches may still need to come onto the campus. It is your responsibility to determine whether it is more economical to buy a traditional semester/yearly permit or if an alternative option best suits you. Parking and Transportation Services will continue to review and explore parking permit options on campus, especially as it relates to hybrid schedules. Below are current alternative options available on the USF Tampa campus for hybrid work and/or school.
Y PERMIT (PARK-N-RIDE)
This yearly permit is available to students, employees, and some affiliates as a cost saving option that allows parkers to utilize Park-N-Ride lots and then ride the USF Bull Runner to get to their destination. Some destinations are even within walking distance. Lots 18 and 43 are the two Park-N-Ride lots. View the Campus Parking Map to see these locations on the Tampa campus. Y Permits begin at $59 and a pro-rated throughout the academic year.
DAILY AND TIMED SPACE PARKING
In addition to semester and annual parking permits, there are several options for daily and hourly parking on campus. Daily parking permits and timed spaces are an option for those who may only need to be on campus a few times throughout the semester. Daily Parking permits are available at $5.00 per day or Timed Space Parking permits at $.75 per 30 min.
DAILY SCRATCH-OFF PERMITS
Daily scratch-off permits are also available at $5.00 per day and offer the convenience of advance purchase and flexibility of use as you choose the date by scratching off the month, day, and year. These permits can be purchased from the main Parking Services Building (PSB) located on USF Plum and USF West Holly Drive or the Campus Information Center (CIC), located on USF Leroy Collins Boulevard. Parking with this permit is available in E/D permitted lots.
