Can I still use the Passport app for payment?

The Passport app will no longer be available for payment at the Garage. If you have a pre-paid balance in Passport and would like to transfer it for usage in the new Flash system, please contact parking@drexel.edu. Passport remains a payment option in Lot C (hourly parking) and Lots S, R, A (evening and weekend parking).

What if my DragonCard or Parking Access card doesn’t work at the entrance, or I forget it one day?

We're trying to prepare for as many scenarios as possible and understand accidents may happen. In this event, simply pull a ticket (the gate will rise). Once you're parked and settled, contact Parking Services at 215.895.2813 or email parking@drexel.edu with your ticket number so we can resolve. Remember, a ticket (or DragonCard) is required to exit the Garage now, so be sure you contact us before driving out.

The new sign says "Lot Full," but I’m a permit holder or registered guest.

The Lot Full sign will illuminate when the Garage cannot accept any more additional public parking. Permit holders still have 24/7 access to the Garage.

I'm a non-University affiliated customer and often park in this Garage. Can I now buy a monthly parking permit?

A limited number of monthly parking permits are available for non-University community members. To check on availability, contact Parking Services.

As a permit holder, do I need a placard?

No; placards are no longer required for Garage and Lot F permit holders. To avoid a disruption in access or citations, always ensure your vehicle information is up to date (even with temporary vehicles) via the ParkDrexel portal. A placard is required for all other lots.

What is the clearance for the Garage?

The clearance for the Garage is 6'9". Those with vehicles taller than that should seek alternate parking.
