Employee Commuter Benefits

Do you get to work using alternative transportation?
NCSU Transportation offers commuter parking benefits to employees!

The Fine Print

Approved applicants will receive the following incentive:

24 free daily virtual parking permits for those days when you are unable to travel to work via transit, biking or walking.

Applicants must:

Reapply each year for commuter status.
Understand daily parking permits are valid in the Coliseum Deck or C permitted staff parking areas.
You are provided 24 free virtual parking permits per academic year. Paid daily parking options can be found here.
Understand that transit, bicycle and walk commuters cannot have a current NC State University parking permit for any area, or must be willing to submit a permit return request for their current NC State University parking permit before their application will be processed.
Assigned work location must be in an NC State Transportation permitted area; i.e., not an off-site location which does not require a valid NC State parking permit.
Each applicant must have a registered vehicle in their name or in the name of a family member or spouse. This assists in reaching the goal of reducing single-occupancy vehicles on campus.
Daily permits are not to be sold, traded, gifted or otherwise offered to an unauthorized user.
