Approximate Parking Permit CostGetting a Parking Permit
Faculty and grad students get priority selection for parking permits. It’s very rare for undergrads to obtain a parking permit. Due to the overwhelming demand, you must apply for a parking permit and get put in the lottery drawing to obtain a spot.
College Prowler Take
Parking for students is not convenient, and bringing a car is not necessary. To get a campus parking permit, you’ll have to be chosen in a lottery, and even then, you’ll have to fork over a lot of money to end up parking a car you probably won’t need to use all that much. Students also have trouble parking on the city streets surrounding campus, as spots are rarely available, but those renting a house have the option to purchase a city parking permit for about $20.This works out well, since the only students who really need cars are the ones who would use them to commute to campus. Freshmen can’t have cars on campus, so it’s not really an issue for first-year students. Due to all the parking problems, having a car on campus is more of a burden than anything else. Most students enjoy walking around campus. Fortunately, there’s no pressure to bring a car so if you don’t have the nicest whip, don’t worry. You can just leave that ’88 Mercury Tracer at home.

Parking on campus is horrible....
Parking on campus is horrible. It's a complete toss up on whether or not there will be a parking space available.

Having a car here is not practical...
Having a car here is not practical unless you live off campus. There is almost no parking, and trying to get a parking space can be difficult. If you want a space, you need to get to campus at around 8 a.m. There is almost no place to park that is close to the dorms and parking is really expensive. If you have a friend at Pitt, you can try and get parking through them.

Parking is limited on campus....
Parking is limited on campus. Freshmen are not allowed to bring cars to campus. Parking permits are not guaranteed every year and are based on a lottery system. Parking permits are also very expensive. In order to help the students, everyone has a bus pass on their student ID cards that allows them on any of the public transportation systems in Allegheny County—the PAT buses, the T subway, and the incline in Mt. Washington. However, the buses are not very reliable and the T is only downtown, so nobody uses it. The incline is at Station Square and is not regularly used. There is a small amount of free parking located around campus, but spots go quickly. If you don't get one, you're screwed and have to park far away.

There is parking, but it's expensive. I managed to get by with free parking my senior year, but you have to do some walking to get to and from the car.
