A Delivery permit is a short-term parking option for customers making deliveries on campus. Delivery permits are available at either of the two campus kiosks. For those who have a valid Red, Blue or Gold permit, the Delivery parking permit is complimentary. For customers without a valid parking permit, there is a $2 fee for a Delivery permit. The short term Delivery permit must be displayed on the automobile dashboard.
Delivery permits:
- Are valid in Delivery spaces only and any unreserved spaces in Red and Blue lots.
- Expire 35 minutes after time printed. The expiration time is displayed on the permit.
Departments have options when it comes to issuing guest permits. If planning for special events, conferences, symposiums, and other such large events on campus you must first contact Event Parking Services for parking and permit information.
Your guests can self-purchase their own parking permits, or the department can purchase daily or multi-day permits for guests via the campus recharge system. As there are no longer physical parking permits, multiple quantities may not be purchased for distribution in advance. Guest parking permit options are provided below.
Guest Self-Purchase Options
- Hourly and daily permits can be purchased from self-service pay stations in select lots across campus or through ParkMobile. A comprehensive list of hourly/daily parking lots is available online.
- Daily parking can also be purchased at the Information Kiosks for Gold lots only. The kiosk ambassador can also provide assistance on purchasing parking for other lots.
- Weekly or monthly permits can be purchased in person at the Parking Services Office or by phone at (951) 827-8277.
Department Purchase Options
Departments can submit one of the following requests for up to 10 guests. These guests cannot be UCR campus employees (faculty or staff). A department may not, at any time, purchase a parking permit with university funds (19900 funds) for use by any employee.
- Temporary Form for Daily Kiosk Permits* With this form, you can add up to 10 guests our kiosk guest list. On the day of arrival, your guests should pull up to the Information Kiosk and introduce themselves the same way you listed them on the form. The kiosk ambassador will collect their vehicle information at the service window and issue the permit. Permits will only be issued upon arrival at the kiosk. And departments will only be billed for permits claimed, not the total number requested. This option is available for next-day guest arrival, Monday-Friday. The kiosk is not open on the weekends.
