WE’RE CASHLESS!

In January 2023, all VCU Parking and Transportation facilities transitioned to cashless payments. Hourly parking can be paid using a credit/debit card or the Passport parking app (in surface lot facilities). Additionally, special event parking is now cashless, accepting debit/credit cards only

The transition to cashless offers a safer collection process and is expected to create greater operational efficiency and provide a quicker entry process for guests We are excited to take this next step in event parking with cashless payment options

DID YOU SAY...AUDIT?

You may have heard the "a" term mentioned across the department recently, The department is undergoing a routine audit "to determine whether P&T collects sufficient revenues to sustain operations as an auxiliary enterprise and maintains required reserves While there is no concern for the standard, routine process, it is a rather tedious one, with multiple units involved Special thanks to all who contributed to ensuring this process has remained successful

Several Facilities In Store For Upgrades

VCU Parking and Transportation is intentional about improving the parking environment for customers. This starts with creating safe, clean, and efficient facilities. As part of this effort, the department has invested heavily in a new power washing contract, camera installation, LED lighting, and LPR

Earlier this fiscal year, Eighth St. Deck was outfitted with 31 new cameras. Since January, cameras have been installed in the West Main St Deck, Jefferson St Deck, and Bowe St Deck At least 20 to 30 additional cameras were installed within each facility and integrated with the VCU Police security network Before this installation, just 125 cameras were positioned at the deck entrance and exit lanes, stairwells, and outside, providing limited visual access When this project is completed, over 400 total cameras will be installed

Bowe St Deck and West Main St Deck have now been retrofitted with LED lighting. While Eighth St. Deck is the next facility in line to undergo the retrofitting, funding has been allocated for all on-campus VCU parking facilities
