UC San Diego has transitioned to virtual parking permits to make the commuting experience simpler and more sustainable. Students, faculty and staff can purchase virtual permits that are linked to their vehicle’s license plate number. 

Biweekly or monthly payroll deductions are still an option. Staff with limited term appointments may also be interested in the “consecutive days permit” (covering 30 to 365 days of parking) that replaced monthly, quarterly and annual permits. 

For those coming to campus sporadically, virtual parking permits for A, B, S, and D spots can be purchased conveniently through the ParkMobile app. Even those who work on-site full-time can benefit by not paying for parking on holidays, vacation and sick days. All you need is your specific code, based on your parking eligibility. 

The most common codes include:

Faculty and staff can also save when they purchase 10-day bundles of prepaid, pretax parking through the Transportation Services’ parking portal. Permits are delivered as a 10-use ParkMobile promotion code.

Faculty and staff can ride free this fall when they enroll in the FaSt Pass Trial Program. Enroll by Sept. 25 to activate your October transit pass. 

When you log the days that you work remotely or don’t drive alone in the Triton Commuter Club, you can save even more by earning parking discounts, incentive drawing entries, and more!

If you haven’t already done so, please submit your vaccination documentation as soon as possible. All students, staff and faculty must be vaccinated for COVID-19, or have an approved exemption or deferral, per University of California mandate. Vaccinations are free and available at UC San Diego.

Answer: When scheduling in-person employee meetings and events, supervisors should consider employees’ work arrangements. Whenever possible, supervisors should provide employees with three business days’ notice if requesting that they come to campus on a day that they’re regularly scheduled to work remotely.

Answer: Yes. Most classrooms have built in means for voice amplification. Please see the following video of a test conducted in a classroom using different masks. For instructors teaching in campus lecture halls who do not feel comfortable reusing a lapel mic, you may request your own dedicated lapel mic to use throughout the quarter.

Answer: CA COVID Notify, published by the State of California, uses the Exposure Notifications System from Google and Apple to alert you when you’ve been exposed to COVID-19.
