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.
