Will I be receiving a refund for purchasing a premium pass and being advised there is less parking now with closing of Deck 1?

There will be no refunds offered. Parking issued fewer permits to insure you would be able to find available parking in either Deck 2 (166 Washington Street) or Deck 3 (180 Washington St. - between Raymond Blvd and Warren Street).

Beyond the economic lots that are not close to campus, will there be other options for parking in nearby non-Rutgers lots?

The Economy permit allows parking in New St. Lot (272 New Street - between Lock Street and Wilsey Street) as well as Norfolk Deck (P1) (255 Norfolk Street), after 3:30 pm students with Economy commuter permits may park in Essex Lot 506 (Essex Street - Behind 1WP building), Deck 2 (166 Washington Street) or Eagle East Lot 509A (Corner of [East Side] Eagle Street and Orange Street -closest lot to the business school).

We do not provide off campus parking providers recommendations.

Will there be a shuttle stop at the economy lots? If so, where can I find that updated schedule?

The campus bus schedule is available online https://ipo.rutgers.edu/dots/buses-newark and can be tracked by downloading the Transloc app for iPhone and android phones free from the iTunes or google play store, for additional Rutgers mobile apps please visit oss.rutgers.edu/mobile The two economy lots are the New St. Lot (272 New Street - between Lock Street and Wilsey Street) and the Norfolk Deck (P1) (255 Norfolk Street). The New St. Lot is a walking lot which is approx. 3 blocks from campus. However, the university will have the bus stop at the New Street on a limited basis starting March 7th during the week from 6pm to 12am through the rest of the Spring Semester. The Norfolk Deck (P1) has direct bus service from the Medical School using the Campus Connect and 180 West Market Street Stop using the Penn Station Local. Both stops are right next to the Norfolk lot with direct service to the campus and detailed bus information can be found in the link above.
