In keeping with UM’s ongoing commitment to implement “green” practices in its operations, full-time faculty, staff, and students who drive hybrid vehicles to work may receive a 50% discounted parking rate up to a maximum of $215 per year.

In order to claim this discount, you must comply with the Hybrid Vehicle Policies.

To sign up, come to the Public Safety office with your vehicle registration, proof of your insurance, and a photo of your vehicle (preferably with the hybrid logo included).

Questions can be directed to the parking office by emailing ppasses@med.miami.edu or calling 305-243-6280.

Monthly parking rates for faculty, staff, and students vary by location and eligibility (see fee table below).

Payment Methods

• Full-time faculty and staff pay via recurring payroll deduction. Employees paid bi-weekly are deducted from the second paycheck each month.
• Full-time students purchase permits through the Parking Portal. Parking fees are posted to student accounts on the 7th and 21st of each month; payment can then be made through CaneLink.
• All other permit holders pay monthly or quarterly by credit card or check.

Payment Deadlines and Reinstatement

If payment is not received by 11:59 PM on the first day of the month, parking access will be suspended. To restore access, a $5.00 reinstatement fee is required. If you allow your parking permit to expire, you risk losing your space to customers on the waitlist.

Tax Payroll Deduction Information

Effective January 31, 2020, UM faculty and staff parking and Metro/Tri-Rail expenses are deducted on a pre-tax basis. This means your contributions are deducted from pay before federal and Social Security taxes are calculated. Questions?
