Most annual parking permits and bus passes expire at 11:59 PM on May 31. Faculty/staff members have two options. First, customers with a payroll deduction can sign up for automated renewal by 11:59 PM on April 30. Second, faculty/staff can purchase an annual permit or bus pass starting at 8 AM on May 5.
Faculty/staff members must OPT IN to the renewal program no later than 11:59 PM on April 30. The automated process for faculty/staff members to renew is for those with payroll deductions only. Emails will be sent to faculty/staff the week of April 7 with more information.
Faculty/staff members are also limited to having no more than two vehicles on their permit. Customers with more than two vehicles on their permit will have to manually review and add vehicles to their permit. They will also receive an email the week of April 7 with instructions on how to do so.
With the Workday implementation this Summer, deductions for 2025-2026 will start in July 2025, instead of June 2025. As a result, 12 month academic staff and university staff will see at most 22 deductions in the year, which will result in a higher per check amount than usual, but the amount paid throughout the year remains the same. In 2026-2027, the number of payroll deductions will revert back to a maximum of 24.
Automated renewals apply to main campus parking and bus pass deductions only. This is separate from parking and transit accounts administered by the Universities of Wisconsin through Optum Financial.
Permits and bus passes become available for new faculty/staff customers at 8 AM on May 5. Summer 2025 passes will become available at the same date and time. Fall 2025 permits will be available to students at a later date.
