Students who are enrolled for summer classes have a variety of parking and transportation options available for Summer 2013. Here’s more information about prorated parking permits as well as the special reduced transit schedule.
Parking
Students who currently own 2012-13 annual parking permits (Annual Individual, Annual Carpool, Evening/Weekend, Motorcycle and SmartPark) may use them through August 14, 2013.
If students need permits for the summer months, Parking and Transportation Services is currently selling 2012-13 Annual Individual, Evening/Weekend and Motorcycle at prorated prices. To purchase a permit, students should visit the PTS office and bring their BuzzCard or license and original vehicle registration.
To view the available parking zones, visit www.pts.gatech.edu and click Parking Permit Availability.
Normal parking regulations will be in effect during the summer. If you are leaving your car on campus this summer, please call (404)385-PARK to find alternate parking.
2013-14 Parking Registration
Students who need parking permits for 2013-14 should participate in online parking permit registration before June 15, 2013. Students may choose to keep their current permit assignment or choose up to five alternate locations.
Permits issued through online registration will be valid for use on August 15, 2013. Students may choose to have their permits mailed to them in July or to pick them up from the Parking and Transportation Services office in August. All student permit fees will be transferred to their Buzzport/Bursar accounts in mid/late July for payment with fall tuition and fees.

Tech Trolley and Stinger Buses:
Starting Monday, May 6, 2013, Parking and Transportation Services will implement a reduced transit schedule for the Tech Trolley and the Red and Blue Stingers.
