A parking permit is for one vehicle and needs to be renewed at the start of each semester. Any ticket issued is the responsibility of the vehicle owner. Rutgers Community Arts parking permits allow students to park in Lot 79 and Lot 74a.

*Rutgers affiliates (students, faculty, staff) are not allowed to purchase special program permits and should only park in lots specifically designated for their permit types.
