Many Georgia Tech staff and faculty are preparing to telework this fall. Parking and Transportation Services offers several convenient pay-as-you-go parking solutions for the days you work on campus.

Note: if you have purchased a permit but want to switch to one of these short-term parking options, please complete the request form at http://pts.gatech.edu/2019-2020-permit-return-request after your permit purchase. Request forms submitted after August 15 are subject to a prorated refund.

• Weekly: $35
• Monthly: $110

Flex Permits expire at 11:59 p.m. at the end of valid period. Permits are not available three (3) days before home football games or major campus events. Permits are nonrefundable. Overnight parking is not allowed in after-hours locations.

SmartPark Permit

Best for teleworkers or commuters who will come to campus fewer than three times a week.

How it works: Purchase a SmartPark permit for $25 and use a SmartPark unit each time you park. Units are $6 and are sold in bundles of three, five, or 10. SmartPark is a virtual permit program (customers will not receive a physical permit hangtag). Use your BuzzCard to enter and exit parking locations.

Where to park: Park in one of these campus locations: E81-Tech Square/GT Hotel Deck, W23-North Campus Deck, and Visitors Area 1 (North Avenue). New SmartPark locations for 2020-21 are W02-Student Center Deck and W22-Dalney Deck (available August 15, 2020).
