    DID YOU KNOW?

     

    We’re about a month away from a very important date on the UofL calendar: The day your parking permit expires! That valuable piece of plastic will need to be replaced by Aug. 25, and permits do not renew automatically. If you already have a permit this year, you should have received an email with instructions. If you don’t have one or didn’t get an email, click here. And don’t forget, UofL has a number of alternative transportation options ranging from free TARC rides with your UofL ID to car-sharing, bicycling and carpooling. They can save you money while helping to save the planet, so visit this website for more information.
