Visit Parking PortalTemporary Parking Program for Remote Employees
West Virginia University Transportation and Parking is offering a special temporary parking program for employees who are working exclusively remotely this fall. Remote employees’ parking permits will be suspended effective Aug. 1, through Dec. 31, 2020. However, permits for remote employees will remain active in WVU’s parking database, which will allow WVU Transportation and Parking to share important parking updates and announcements with these employees. Further, remote employees’ permits and/or parking spaces will be guaranteed upon their return to on-campus work in January 2021. Parking fees that are included as an automatic payroll deduction will be suspended beginning Saturday, Aug. 1.
The special temporary parking program is only available to employees who have been identified to work exclusively remotely for the fall semester. Faculty and staff who will be working on campus or in a “hybrid” capacity (i.e., splitting their time between on-campus and remote work) this fall may cancel their parking permits before they are automatically renewed on Aug. 1. However, employees who cancel their permits will lose their designated vehicle spaces on campus.
