In consultation with School of Architecture administrators, Sustainable Transportation would like to share some important parking changes that will be implemented beginning May 1, 2025.
The changes are designed to better prioritize parking for employees and students at the Cambridge campus, and to enable Sustainable Transportation to plan for future lot improvements.
Effective May 1, 2025
- Introducing Cambridge campus employee parking permits:
- Employees who use the parking lot will be eligible for parking permits, which will be provided at no cost from May 1, 2025 - April 30, 2026.
- Cambridge lot permits are non-transferable and valid only at the Cambridge campus.
- Permits must be displayed in the registered vehicle to avoid ticketing.
- Employees can secure a permit by completing the Purchase OR Reactivate a Parking Permit application.
- Parking Enforcement:
- Our Parking Enforcement team will routinely visit the lot, but enforcement will begin September 1, 2025.
Effective September 1, 2025
- Introducing Cambridge campus student parking permits:
- Like employees, eligible students of the Cambridge campus can request a parking permit. The permit will be provided at no cost to the student from September 1, 2025 - April 30, 2026.
- Information will be shared with eligible students ahead of the fall term.
- Paid visitor parking:
- Paid visitor parking will be introduced. Daily visitor parking rates (6:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Monday to Friday) will be $7.25 to match rates at Kitchener and Waterloo campuses.
- Visitors, employees and students without a valid Cambridge parking permit will need to use the AMP mobile app to pay for parking. You can either download the AMP app through Apple’s App Store or the Google Play Store on your phone or register through the AMP app website. Payment can be done using a credit card via secure online transaction.
- Parking Enforcement:
- Our parking enforcement officers will issue City of Cambridge tickets for non-compliance.
- Individuals must display the Cambridge permit or pay for parking using the AMP app to avoid ticketing.
- Employees and students displaying a valid Waterloo or School of Health Science parking permit within their registered vehicle will not be ticketed.
