Where Do My Parking &
Transportation Dollars Go?
Revenue generated by Parking & Transportation
Services is solely devoted to providing services that
directly benefit our customers. As an auxiliary unit within
Campus Services, the department is financially selfsustaining, with Parking generating its own revenue.
In addition to mandatory student fees and an Institute
allocation, Transportation earns revenue from charter
rentals, special transit services, and transit advertising.
The graphs below show how your parking dollars were
invested in 2014-2015 in order to provide the best
products and services to you and to all of our patrons.
