Applications are now open for 2019–20 parking, valid Sept. 1, 2019 through Aug. 31, 2020. Applications are due June 7 for the first application period (“round one”). If you miss the June 7 deadline, you can apply during the second application period starting in mid-July. If you have not had a parking permit in the past, you must contact your Unit Transportation Coordinator (UTC) for approval to apply for the 2019–20 year. Employee bus passes, afternoon and night parking permits, and motorcycle and moped permits will go on sale August 1. To apply for a parking permit, visit go.wisc.edu/jfj079.

Parking permit rates for the 2019–20 year have been announced by UW–Madison Transportation Services. This is the final year of the six-year conversion plan to a two-tier pricing system. Now all parking structures and high-demand surface lots are in one category and all remaining surface lots are in another. By phasing the conversion in over six years, one-time, large-scale price increases were avoided. The price for permits in the lots making the final conversion move were adjusted between three and five percent. All other product prices and fees will remain the same for the 2019-20 parking year, including permits, the employee bus pass, visitor parking fees, and administrative/citation fees.

Over the next few months, DoIT will implement significant changes in the way it serves campus, including closing the DoIT Tech Store and shifting how it provides other key functions, such as Help Desk and Repair. Goods and services that have been provided over the years will continue to be available, but the physical Tech Store will end its operations by the end of June.

As part of the South Campus Utility Improvement project, contractors will be replacing two valves in the campus chilled water system that are in worse-than-expected condition. To facilitate the completion of this work, FP&M will shut down chilled water service to the eastern half of campus from Tuesday, May 7, to Friday, May 10. Cooler springtime temperatures during this period will minimize the impact of this shutdown.
