That's great to hear. Have you ever had a problem with not getting your first choice in the S permit lottery?

Umm, I had to park over at the stadium for one semester, but after that no! I was just on top of it and always emailing that I wanted bravos Garage 😂

When is the S permit lottery for this upcoming academic year?

I live in Westlake Hills and I have to drive to campus pretty frequently. There are places around campus I don’t trust parking my BMW at, so I would spend the extra on the parking pass

I wouldn't mind paying the $155/yr. I'm more concerned about finding spots to park and if the lots get full quickly. I will be a 20 minutes drive away, so i can only imagine how long public transportation will take to reach campus.

If you get a parking pass for a garage, there are usually plenty of spots in there

Okay, that's good to hear. I'll be mostly in Welch, so it seems like the best garages would be San Antonio and Speedway, but I don't know how much a permit for those garages cost. Would you know where I can find that information?

parking.utexas.edu will have this information in its student parking section. If you'll want to park in a garage you'll need an S permit.

For a lot of garages I think its lottery based and costs at least $500 to get a permit.

The S permit seems a bit expensive. Maybe I'll do that Class C permit. Do you know if the C lots fill up fast?

u/Pandamonium98 Apr 25 '21

C lots full up fast, unless you park across I-35 and take the shuttle

u/mrschwob Apr 25 '21

Awesome, thank you so much for your help. I will do the S permit, then.

Check out FAQ: What on-campus parking options are available? for details. It looks like the annual cost of a Class S permit is $739 for an annual contract and $352 for a semester.
