Work Address

An employee’s eligibility for a specific parking facility is dependent upon their work address.

Waiting Lists

Many parking facilities are assigned to capacity, therefore the rate at which new assignments can be made is dependent upon the rate at which current assignments are canceled (i.e., someone must cancel their permit in order for a space to become available for a new assignment). Since demand exceeds the capacity of many parking facilities, Parking and Transportation maintains waiting lists for each facility. Most assignments are made from these waiting lists.  

Faculty and staff can add themselves to waitlist(s) by visiting the Parking Waitlist System at parkingwaitlist.parking.uiowa.edu/.

Waiting lists for individual parking facilities are organized according to two factors. First, all names on the list are divided into the two categories of either Faculty or Staff. Second, each of these categories is organized according to the employee’s UI Human Resources seniority date.

The faculty classification for parking follows the Provost’s status and includes only career (regular) track faculty that are full-time (50% or greater) faculty classifications of FB 11-12, FN 11-12, FN 15, FQ 11-14, FR 11-13, FS 11-14, FT 11-12. 

All other University of Iowa employees are classified as staff regardless of their individual classification. This includes Merit, Professional, Adjunct Faculty, House Staff, President, Vice Presidents, Deans, university officials and administrators, and most administrators. 

Other assignments may be made at the discretion of the Director of Parking and Transportation. 

Since each list is organized according to UI Human Resources seniority date, the relative positions of each individual on a list may change over time. Individuals with older seniority dates may apply later and move ahead of individuals already on the list. To qualify for an assignment made within a particular month, employees must have their name on the list by the end of the prior month.

Assignments

Assignments are made to each facility on an alternating basis from the separate lists of faculty and staff. If there are two assignments to make, one will come from the top of each list. If ten assignments are to be made, then five will come from each list. If the last assignment made to a facility came from the faculty list, then the next assignment will come from the staff list.
