Enhanced Daily Parking Options — Parking Services
To promote social distancing during the pandemic recovery, daily parking options have been enhanced and automated. Daily parking is intended for those who normally use mass transit or who park on campus occasionally as it does not allow for multiple lot entries per day. Students, faculty and staff who regularly park on campus are encouraged to purchase a semester parking permit. Daily parking options now include: Online SpotHero QR code passes via Highlander Pipeline, in-person Bursar window QR code vouchers, and in-lane credit card payment kiosk daily parking access (only at Science and Technology Park Garage, 42 Wilsey Street). Please visit https://www.njit.edu/parking/daily-parking-options for more information.
