Passport Program

The Parking Passport is a pre-paid parking option allowing parking in daily rate spaces in surface lots and garages, with in-and-out privileges and at a discounted rate.

Auraria Campus parking spaces are subject to daily spaces availability; Passports are NOT valid in ParkMobile metered spaces (5-digit zones) or Auraria Campus Permit spaces.

Save Money by Participating in the Passport or Permit Programs

Purchasing a passport allows the convenience of skipping the pay stations or paying by phone app, as parking rates have been pre-paid. Passports purchased are fully digital and attached to the vehicle license plate number, there is no need to come into the office to pick them up if purchased online.

Purchasing a passport affords a savings of $0.75 from daily rates; passports when purchased can be customized to fit class or hybrid schedules, from one day to full-time which includes Saturdays and Sundays.

Passport prices are prorated as the semester progresses; prices are reduced each week of the current semester.
