What Permit is Right for Me?
Our permit program aims to provide parker flexibility. That said, we recognize the challenge in determining which permit is right for your parking needs. Medford/Somerville faculty, staff, and students choosing the daily parking option through their Tufts parking account (defined as a parking account utilizing their Tufts email address) will be guaranteed an annual spend cap equal to the annual permit cost beginning September 1 for the next permit year.
The annual period is defined as September 1 through August 31:
- For Faculty and Staff: Based on 260 working days per year (5 days each week for 52 weeks) and resets each permit year
- For Students: Based on 245 days per year (7 days each week for 35 weeks) and resets each permit year
Faculty, staff, and students interested in hourly parking sessions may utilize the visitor parking program. Visitor parking sessions will not apply to the annual spend cap.
