Payroll Deduction
Employees on the KU Lawrence payroll must be a regular (non-temporary) faculty or staff member with a 0.50 FTE or greater appointment to be eligible to participate in payroll deduction for parking permits. Employees of affiliated corporations with eligibility questions should contact their payroll office.
Payroll Deduction has ended for the 2025-26 academic year. If you don't see a parking permit in your KU Parking portal account or have questions about payroll deduction, please contact KU Transportation Services by email.
An email will be sent to all employees when Payroll Deduction opens for the 2026-27 academic year — normally in early June.
If you prefer not to pay for your parking permit through payroll deductions, you can pay online by credit card.
Terms and Conditions
- Deductions are voluntary on my part and will remain in effect until the end of the current fiscal year OR until I make a request to Transportation Services in writing to amend my deductions OR I become otherwise ineligible for payroll deduction.
- It is the sole responsibility of the employee to verify their deduction information.
- Deductions may not be stopped and re-started. If parking is cancelled, it may only be reinstated by purchasing online with a credit card.
- Deductions only include permits. Fines or any other outstanding debts to Transportation Services must be paid by cash, check, or credit card.
- Only annual permits may be paid via payroll deduction. Semester, Daily, Limited Use permits must be paid via credit card
- Deductions will be taken from each paycheck regardless of how often I choose to park at the University of Kansas.
- There will be absolutely no refunds available for pre-tax deductions.
- Because my license plate is my permission to park, I am solely responsible for maintaining my vehicle information within my parking account.
- Deductions cannot be cancelled for the summer semester (June and July).
- In the event of the termination of my employment or other lack of payment, my parking privileges will cease.
