Parking Permits

All BU parking permits are virtual and based on each permit holder’s license plate number. Faculty should apply for a permit online through the Transportation Management Portal. For information on parking locations, please see the map of the campus parking lots at Boston University Maps.

Permits Available for Faculty

• The Evening Faculty Permit (formerly the white permit) is available for free for all part- and full-time Metropolitan College faculty members who are only teaching in the evenings or on weekends. If all of your classes are being held after 4 pm on weekdays and/or during the weekend, you will see the free Evening Faculty parking permit as an option on the Transportation Management Portal. The Evening Faculty Permit allows faculty to park free of charge after 2:30 pm in any lot except lots A, C-1, C-2, L, N, O, R, and S.
• The Employee FLEX Permit (formerly the red permit) is useful for faculty that need to come to campus and park during the day, but don’t plan to be here every day. Flex permit holders are only charged for the days they come to campus and park.
• The Employee COMMUTER Permit (formerly the green permit) is for daily use and has a monthly fee attached to it.
