Parking Tax

On June 1st, 2020, the City and County of San Francisco directed our campus to implement the mandatory 25% San Francisco Parking Tax, on top of our current parking rates. This parking tax affects all those who utilize campus parking, including students, faculty, staff, administrators, and community members. The daily rate of parking increased from $8.00 a day, to $10.00 a day, due to the implementation of this tax. Current 5-day parking passes have increased from $684.00 to $800.00 per semester, with this new tax.

The City and County of San Francisco already receives $180 per semester through the Gator Pass fee, which incentivizes students to use public transportation and reduce the use of cars. Associated Students believes that the 25% tax increase for parking fees will continue to harm students financially and academically, especially as we are still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. San Francisco remains one of the most expensive cities in the nation, and our students cannot afford another financial burden that this parking tax creates.
