| How Much Is A Parking Pass At University Of Louisville |
The Price is Right...Kinda?
Here's the deal: Parking pass prices at UofL vary depending on a few factors, like your affiliation with the university (student, faculty, etc.) and your desired parking zone (because let's be real, some spots are closer to the elusive free donuts in the break room than others).
Be prepared for some sticker shock: Prices can range from a chill $106 for a Purple zone commuter pass (perfect if you're feeling the budget blues) to a hefty $792 for a Red zone reserved spot (basically, you're paying for the privilege of never having to search for a parking space again. Luxury, am I right?).
Here's a quick rundown:
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
- Resident Students: $199-$211 (you get a designated spot, but it might be next to a rogue squirrel's secret stash of acorns).
- Commuter Students: Prices vary depending on the zone, but expect to pay anywhere from $106-$217 (be prepared for a bit of a parking adventure).
- Faculty & Staff: $324-$792 (again, zone dependent. The closer you park to the coveted donut haven, the deeper the wallet excavation).
Bonus Round: Athletic Events
Tailgating for the Cardinals? $40 a pop will get you a single-game parking pass (just remember, that prime spot near the stadium might require some serious negotiation skills with fellow fans).
