So… why did Trinity increase fees?
Increasing fees ensures Trinity’s commitment to the ongoing operating maintenance and improvements of our parking facilities.
The University developed the above fee schedule following a survey of fees at colleges and universities in the San Antonio area as well as an assessment of fair market value. The survey showed Trinity with the lowest rates by a wide margin, with prices far below market value for colleges and for our campus’s location near downtown San Antonio. (By comparison, University of Incarnate Word resident students pay $720 per academic year, and the cost to park at the University of Texas - San Antonio ranges from $300 to $1,100 annually.)
Payment
Faculty and staff permit registration begins August 1 with a payroll deduction option. A link to the MyParking self-service site along with a full list of fees for faculty, staff, and students, can be found on the Parking Services website.
