Notes
Parking rates for FY21 will not increase, with the exception of economy ($2 per use increase when paid parking resumes).
Students, faculty, and staff no longer pay an annual fee for parking.
Motorcycles do not require an additional permit; account holders simply add the motorcycle as one of the vehicles on their account.
MIT parking account holders may park for no additional charge in any lot on campus after 2:30 PM, Monday through Friday, and all day on weekends and MIT holidays. Note that evening and weekend parking is allowed only in spots that are not otherwise reserved.
* To request a parking account, affiliates must be sponsored and have a Kerberos account; visit the Affiliate parking page for more info.
** Employees and students may purchase scratch cards for visitors in person at the Atlas Service Center; Parking Coordinators and designated employees with the ability to commit funds may purchase them online through the parking application — Learn more.
