Campus-Wide Parking Improvement Project


Penn Parking & Commuter Services has launched  a major parking improvement project that includes modernizing both the hardware and software for the University’s parking environment. Work is underway at campus parking facilities and is scheduled to be completed in June. 

Patrons who use Penn’s garages will experience a more reliable and consistent service when entering and exiting the University’s parking facilities due to:

  • All new equipment including entrance card readers, lighted gate arms, and pay-on-foot kiosks.
  • Real-time integration between the administrative parking systems which will significantly minimize the wait for gates to open.
  • Permit holders being able to use their PennCards to gain access to vehicle entry and exit lanes and pedestrian doors of their assigned garage.
