NJIT DAILY PARKING

Effective January 29, 2002, NJIT faculty, staff and students who have a need to park on an occasional basis may purchase daily vouchers from the Bursar's office. Persons who need to park on a regular basis should purchase a parking permit at the office of Public Safety for the entire semester.

Daily parking vouchers must be purchased in advance from the Bursar's window at the student mall. The cost of the voucher will be $5.00 per day, and a valid NJIT ID is required.

An area of NJIT lot # 16 (located on Colden Street - across from Laurel Hall) has been designated as the daily parking lot. Daily parking vouchers must be presented to the public safety officer posted at the entrance to lot #16.
