Students who are enrolled for summer classes have a variety of parking and transportation options available for Summer 2012. Here’s more information about prorated parking permits as well as the special reduced transit schedule.
Students who currently own parking permits may use them through the summer sessions. The original permit expiration date, July 31, 2012, has been extended to August 14, 2012, to accommodate students participating in summer academic sessions and commencement.
If students need permits for the summer months, Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) is currently selling annual, carpool, evening/weekend and motorcycle permits at a prorated prices. Visit www.pts.gatech.edu to view the weekly proration schedule and available parking zones. To purchase a permit, students should visit the PTS office and bring their BuzzCard or license and original vehicle registration.
Normal parking regulations will be in effect during the summer. Please be sure that your parking permit is displayed properly to avoid citations or towing. If you are leaving your car on campus this summer, please call (404)385-PARK to find alternate parking.
