Purchase Event Parking

If you would like to pay the parking fees for your event attendees, UTAPS will issue a coupon code for you to distribute via email, event page, and other media. Your event attendees will redeem the coupon code at any parking permit machine for a daily permit. After the event, we'll invoice you based on the exact amount of coupon code redemptions. The event parking fee is $4 for each coupon code redemption. There is a 50 coupon code minimum for all event parking arrangements.
