Memo Regarding Parking Updates
The following memo briefly summarizes a few changes from BU’s Parking and Transportation Services.
These options are actually on their website. Below are the updated costs and caveats:
- The 610 Albany Street Garage at $181/month ($6/day at 30days/month). A student can fill out a permit application online and choose the 610 Albany St garage, subject to availability while BU and BMC staff who normally park there work remotely during the pandemic. The caveat that everyone should be aware of is that this garage is fully subscribed in a normal world with a waiting list, so space there is generally not available. Faculty and staff working remotely will return in mass at some point in the future, and when they do, the 610 permits issued now are temporary and those permits holders will be reassigned to other lots at the applicable rates. When staff return to campus and reinstate their permits at 610, the parking office will likely need to relocate students to a different lot.
- Infrequent parking need. Not everyone is in the lab or on campus every day (e.g., in-person classes have been sparsely populated). Students in need of infrequent parking have access to parking for $12/day, space permitting, at the DOB Garage, 720 Harrison Ave. To pay this rate, students must present their student BU ID along with their ticket to the cashier in order to pay before returning to their vehicle.
