Expanded Daily Decision
Low-cost Parking Options Using Parkmobile
Transportation Services introduced a pilot Daily Decision program in August 2020, giving commuters access to low-cost, short-term options to meet their occasional parking needs. This program, using the Parkmobile app, provides community members greater flexibility than a traditional annual or semester permit, coupled with the convenience of contactless self-service.
The original Daily Decision Parkmobile zones were located only on the periphery of the campus; due to overwhelming requests from faculty, staff, and students, we are expanding the program to additional parking lots. This expansion allows commuters to manage their mobility needs based on their work and class schedules, the weather, personal circumstances, or other factors that may change from one day to the next.
Visit the Daily Decision page to learn more about parking options, prices, and locations, and visit Parkmobile.io to download the app, create an account, and park.

Parking Compliance Policy
Permit and Payment Requirements Enforced
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the phased campus reactivation, Transportation Services did not automatically renew parking permits that expired at the end of June 2020. Faculty and staff returning to in-person work are encouraged to visit myparking.cornell.edu to check their permit and vehicle information before parking, as restrictions are enforced throughout campus. Fine-due citations are issued in response to permit and payment requirement violations.
Commuters should take time to examine their transportation options, especially if they require only limited, occasional access to campus.
