Permits & Garage Access

Hangtag permits are issued to faculty and staff and must be picked up during in-person during office hours. Permits are paid through payroll deduction which auto-renews at the end of the fiscal year (June 30). All active permit holders begin to receive notifications in May to opt-out or change their parking plan.

To start or change plans mid-fiscal year visit OTM in-person. Change requests are effective for the following pay period and not retroactive. If you expect to go on extended leave (maternity/paternity, sabbatical, disability, etc.) be sure to contact OTM in advance.

The permit should be placed on the rear view mirror, on the driver’s side dashboard or the inside of the driver’s side rear window.

For permit holders with two registered vehicles, only one vehicle may be brought on campus at any time. On occasions when both cars must be on campus simultaneously, one car must pay the visitor rate. If a second car is found to be on campus unauthorized it will be cited. Multiple infractions may result in withdrawal of campus parking privileges.

Parking permits are not transferrable from one vehicle to a new vehicle without prior notification to OTM. If your car is sold, traded, or wrecked, please notify OTM and provide updated vehicle information.

There is a $100 replacement fee for lost permits. For stolen permits, file a report with the Georgetown University Police Department or the police district where the crime occurred. Replacements fees will be waived if OTM is provided an incident report copy.

Individuals who wish to switch their assigned parking location should contact OTM to be added to the waitlist. Lists are reviewed regularly, but OTM is unable to predict changes in availability.

Lot E and Garage 4 may access their assigned parking locations using their GOCard. However, some locations require different access devices. Lot 6 parkers are issued a remote and Southwest Garage parkers are issued RFIDs or proximity cards. Lost or stolen access devices will be deactivated and replaced for a $35 non-refundable fee.

Special Parking & Vehicles

Georgetown strives to be an accessible and welcoming campus for all its constituents. View our accommodations webpage to view accessibility options for visitors traveling to and from campus. 

Carpooling is strongly encouraged to reduce pollution, congestion and stress. Discounted annual plans are available for faculty and staff at 2-person, 3-person, and 4-person rates. Carpoolers also receive priority in space assignments. All members must be active faculty or staff living in close proximity to each other. Rates are deducted equally among carpoolers and based on total carpoolers in a given pay period.

Faculty and staff enrolled in annual motorcycle plan will be guaranteed an on-campus parking space in designated areas. A decal will be issued for motorcycles, which is not transferrable to an automobile. Motorcycles may not park in spaces designed for full-sized vehicles or in bicycle parking areas or risk receiving a citation.

EV charging is available on a first-come-first-served basis for registered parkers in the Southwest Garage and Garage 4 (under Hariri). There are four Level 2 EV chargers on the P3 level of the SW Garage, and six Level 2 EV chargers on the P2 level of Garage 4. Chargers are currently free (subject to change) to authorized parkers in these garages. Spaces are reserved for active EV charging only, so we ask users to be considerate and move their vehicles once charged.
