Pay Station Coupon Code (one-time use code)

Pay Station Coupon Code (one-time use code)
What is it?
  • A department can either pay for a guest’s parking at a 50% discount or can pass the 50% discount on to their guest.
  • Since each code can only be used once, this is best for departments that rarely have visitors with parking needs.
  • The guest enters the code into a pay station to park.
  • Pro: Since code expires and cannot be used again, this option eliminates abuse of the code by others if code is given out to non-authorized people.
  • Con: As each guest has a unique code, a lot more codes to have to manage.
Pay Station Coupon Code (one-time use code)
How do we use them?
  1. The Department provides Parking Services a Speedtype (if department is paying for their guests).
  2. Parking Services generates a unique discount code(s) per guest and provides it to the department.
  3. The code(s) given is a one-time use code. Once a code is used it automatically expires and cannot ever be used again in the future.
  4. Department gives the code to their guest(s).
  5. When the guest arrives, they park near one of the following pay stations and enter the provided code into the pay station when prompted to do so:
    • Lot 220 (near Cragmor Hall)
    • Level 3 of Gateway Garage (3 stations on this level)
    • Level 1 of Alpine Garage
  6. F. The guest will be asked if they want hourly parking or all-day parking. Hourly parking is 1-4 hours. All day parking is 5+ hours. The Department advises their guest how many hours to choose. The discounted hourly fee for guest parking is $1.25 per hour, or $6.25 for all day (5+ hours). The discounted rate can be billed to the department (we will complete the JE at the end of each month), can be paid by the guest, or the discounted hourly rate can be split between the guest and the department.
  7. Once the guest enters the number of hours, their license plate and their coupon code, they may move their vehicle to any regular space on campus except the employee-only 300 series lots (small lots behind Engineering, UC, Dwire, Main Hall).
  8. At the end of each month, departments that have chosen to pay for their guest parking will be charged (through a JE) for any uses of the code.

  • The guest enters the code into a pay station to park.
  • Pro: Only have to hand out one code to each guest every month.

Virtual Day Pass

Virtual Day Pass
What is it?
  • A department can pay for a guest's parking at a 50% discount.
  • The department will get a special login to the Parking Portal and use that to purchase day passes for guests as needed.
  • The guest only needs to provide their license plate to the department - the department then purchases the pass for them.
  • Pro: Eliminates need to have guest find a pay station. All guest has to do is provide department their license plate and then park on the day of the event.
  • Con: Only available as a day pass. Must pay $6.25 for all day rather than $1.25 per hour.
    Also, a little more labor intensive for department to have to get plate from guest ahead of parking and purchase the day pass for their guest.
Virtual Day Pass
How do we use them?
  1. The UCCS Department provides UCCS Parking Services a Speedtype.
  2. Parking Services creates (one-time set up) a UCCS Department group account in T2 Parking Portal and provides the department with a user name and password. Parking Services enters the department Speedtype into account so any future purchases will be charged to the department once per month.
  3. Department gathers guest(s) license plate number(s) and logs into the parking portal using the department group account.
  4. Department “purchases” a one day “virtual day pass” for each guest. One pass per guest license plate. Virtual day pass in valid an entire day for the date selected. The department enters the guest license plate information when purchasing the permit. All passes purchased during a month will be billed at the end of each month to the department’s Speedtype at $6.25 per pass.
  5. When purchasing a guest permit, the department will be asked for what date the virtual day pass will be valid. Departments can enter the current date or any date in the future.
  6. Once the permit is purchased in the parking portal, their license plate and their coupon code, they may move their vehicle to any regular space on campus except the employee-only 300 series lots (small lots behind Engineering, UC, Dwire, Main Hall).

Day Pass Hang Tag

Day Pass Hang Tag
What is it?

  • Pro:
  • Con: The hang tag must be fully visible so that the month, day, and year can be seen from the front of the vehicle.
    As this option does not utilize our License Plate Recognition (LPR) system, this type of guest parking registration is not efficient and thus will rarely be approved.

  5. The hang tag must be fully visible so that the month, day, and year can be seen from the front of the vehicle. If the date cannot be seen or if the date wasn’t scratched off, the guest will likely receive a parking citation.
