Purdue NewsA group of teaching assistants went before the Parking and Traffic Committee last spring to express their concerns about finding parking spaces in time to teach their classes. The committee subsequently voted to reserve 450 permits for teaching assistants on a trial basis this fall. The $50 permits allow unlimited access to the Grant Street facility during the fall semester.
Half-time teaching assistants are not eligible for "A" or "B" parking permits, and can only obtain $30 student commuter "C" permits if they live more than 1.2 miles from campus.
Parking facilities manager Donna Kemper said that if any permits remain unsold after
the first week of classes on the West Lafayette campus, they will be offered to other
students on a first-come, first-served basis beginning Tuesday, Sept. 2. About half
of the 450 passes have been sold.
