Service Awards may be redeemed for a permit credit. Redemption of service award does not guarantee a permit. It is recommended that you purchase your permit before redeeming your service award.
If you redeem your award before purchasing your permit, make sure you make your permit purchase no later than August 15th* of the year you were awarded. Service awards are non-transferable and may not be rolled over to another year.
How do service awards work?
You purchased your permit and redeemed your service award for parking. What happens next?- Parking will apply your service award to your permit purchase.
- If your permit credit is higher than the price of the permit, your permit is paid for in full. No money is or further credit is issued to you.
- If your permit credit is lower than the price of the permit, you are responsible for the outstanding amount
- Example
- Your permit credit is valued at up to the remote permit price for that year, for illustration purposes $300, but you purchased a perimeter permit priced at $400.
Parking will apply the $300 credit, and you will only be responsible of paying the remaining $100 of your permit. - If the amount outstanding on your permit after your service award is applied is $100 or LESS - this will be collected via a ONE-TIME deduction
- If the amount outstanding on your permit after your service award is applied is $100 or MORE -collections will be subject to the preferences submitted at the time you purchased your permit
- Your permit credit is valued at up to the remote permit price for that year, for illustration purposes $300, but you purchased a perimeter permit priced at $400.
