2) Question:
Answer:
- PAYABLE at a self-service pay station or exit lane at the Metro St Paul ramp.
4) Question:
- Does the daily rate allow me to enter or exit multiple times in one day?
Answer:
-
The daily parking rate is good for all locations without access controls for any one day. An employee can pay parking at the Public Safety and Police Science Center in Brooklyn Park can prepay for daily parking through Gateway Services in Founders Hall.
Please note that if parking on the St. Paul Dayton’s Bluff ramp or at Minneapolis College, the parker will need to pay a separate entry (Minneapolis College) or exit (St. Paul campus) fee. If a parker pays the daily rate at either Minneapolis College or St. Paul Dayton’s Bluff, that will satisfy the daily parking fee at the non-access-controlled locations for that day as well.
5) Question:
- Does the daily rate allow me to enter or exit multiple times in one day?
Answer:
-
If parking at a location without access controls a parker using a daily rate instance may make multiple entries and exits on that one daily parking instance.
-
If parking in the Metro ramp a daily ticket would need to be paid for each entry the same day.
6) Question:
- Will hang tags be provided for daily rate parking use?
Answer:
-
We do not issue hang tags for daily parking. This option is being made available for employee in auto payroll deduction. We are trusting our university employees to use student and tax-payer provided resources appropriately, and to comply voluntarily with university policy. Not issuing hang tags reduces the administrative burden and allows the university to make this option available without additional cost and employee inconvenience.
7) Question:
- If I am both an employee and also a student, do I still need to complete a parking declaration?
Answer:
-
Yes, an employee who is also a student must complete a parking declaration and pay for parking as an employee. If you are also a student, you may ask for your student parking fees to be waived. Email accounts.receivable@metrostate.edu to request refund with your student parking fees in the current semester you are taking courses.
If you are not enrolled in payroll deduction you will still be responsible to pay for the student parking fees and you could only use your student parking privileges while conducting student activities (while at class, meeting with advisor, etc.) at the university.
