Student Commuter Reward Program

The Student Commuter Rewards Program is a green initiative that promotes Rutgers University–Newark and Camden students to using mass transportation to get to and from classes. By submitting monthly transit receipts, students can receive up to $50 in gift card rewards monthly at kite+key, Rutgers Tech Store or Barnes & Noble (Newark only). The program is an alternative solution to the limited amount of parking available on the Rutgers–Camden, and Newark campuses.

More on Commuter Reward Program

You may receive citations for parking in non-approved locations. The new virtual parking pass system is paperless; communications about parking violations will now be sent via email.

Will I get a hangtag or sticker?

You will not be receiving a hang tag or sticker. Vehicles are identified by license plate number.

Can I add multiple vehicles to my parking account?

Yes, you can add multiple vehicles to your account. However, only one vehicle can be on campus at a time.

I just purchased a new vehicle with temporary tags. Do I need to register it?

Yes; please register all vehicles as soon as you purchase them. Once the permanent plates are received, revisit the portal and enter your new plates. Make sure your license plate is entered correctly; one letter or number off will result in e-citations.

I see a lot of reserved spaces available, am I able to park there?

No. Reserved spaces are designated for specific individuals within the university.

I received an e-citation and I do not believe I deserved it. How can I dispute it?

You may log-on to your parking portal and appeal the e-citation. Please give time for a response. You will be notified of decision via email.

I have a rental vehicle for the week, what do I do about parking?

You must go to the portal and register the license plate with the university before parking the rental vehicle in any of the lots.
It is important to register your license plate correctly; one letter or number off will result in e-citations.

Do I need to purchase a permit to park if I only plan to park on campus at night and on the weekends?

Yes, any vehicle parking on university property must purchase a permit.

Can I pay for my parking permit fees with financial aid?

No, we do not bill financial aid for your parking.

Can you add my parking to my term bill?

Yes, select Term Bill as your payment option at the time of purchase. Please note that if you have an outstanding parking balance you will not be issued a permit until the balance is resolved.

I am living off campus, but do not have a place to park my vehicle. Am I eligible for a resident parking permission?

No. Only students who live in a Rutgers residence building are allowed to purchase a resident parking permission.
Please visit your city’s Parking Authority to find options for street parking near your off-campus home.

I paid my e-citation online. When will the hold be removed from my account?

Holds are automatically removed within 48 business hours of the payment.

I am a student bringing my vehicle on campus only for a day or a few days. Can I purchase daily parking permission?

Students who occasionally drive to campus have an option to purchase a daily permit. If you have a full semester permit, you cannot purchase a daily permit. When you sign in using your NetID, the system will automatically display a semester permit.
