UTAPS is a self-supporting operation which receives no general funding. The only sources of funding are users of Sac State's transportation and parking facilities and services.  Their contributions provide the following:

  • Maximum safety and convenience in regards to transportation and parking.

  • Development and maintenance of suitable parking facilities.

  • Parking enforcement–ensuring all users are meeting the above requirements.

These facilities and services are funded by the implementation and enforcement of the following UTAPS policies.

  • Parking fees are required to be paid by every user of parking facilities.

  • Parking fees are required every day and at all times.

  • UTAPS Parking Regulations

The above policies are in accordance with Section 21113 of the California Vehicle Code, Sections 42200 and 42201 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations. These policies and procedures ensure the cost of Sac State’s transportation and parking facilities is distributed equally among all its users.


 Event Parking Fee Waiver

UTAPS cannot waive parking fees or provide free parking.

However, there is limited All University Expense account funding available for Sac State departments hosting academic related events on campus. 

To qualify for AUE funding of your event's parking fees:

    • Occurs during the academic year;

    • Is sponsored by a College or academic department;

    • Is funded by the General Operating Fund; and

    • Does not charge a fee or charge for admission (ticketed event)

  • Visitor(s) participation in said University-sponsored program must enhance the students’ educational experience at Sac State.

  • Visitor(s) are not receiving any compensation, stipend, honorarium, course credit, or any other form of remuneration from Sac State for their participation.

  • The AUE account must have funds available (funds are allocated on a first come, first served basis until they are exhausted for the year).

  • AUE funds may only be used to cover vehicle parking costs; funds cannot be used for any other parking or transportation services.

If your event does not meet the above criteria, you must arrange attendee-paid or pre-paid permits for your event.
