About Parking at Wright State
We are committed to supporting the students, staff, faculty, and visitors at Wright State by managing the parking needs of the university while providing excellent customer service. Our policies and procedures are designed to help alleviate parking and traffic issues at our campus while keeping motorists and pedestrians safe. All faculty, staff, and students, as well as paid contractors, must purchase their own valid parking permits in order to park on the Dayton campus. Sharing permits is considered to be fraudulent; violations are subject to fines.
Please note: When you purchase your permit in your My Parking Account, you will link your vehicle information to your permit because your license plate number verifies that you have purchased a permit. If you need to change the vehicle that you will be parking on campus, follow these steps:
- Log into your My Parking Account.
- Click Permits.
- Click View Your Permits.
- Scroll down and click on your permit number.
- Scroll down to Associated Vehicles to add or delete a vehicle.
You may link up to three vehicles to your permit; however, you can only have one vehicle parked on campus at any one time. The Vehicles page simply shows what vehicles are associated with your account; it does not signify that vehicles on this page may legally be parked on the Dayton Campus.
All faculty, staff, and students, as well as service employees, contractors, and visitors, are strongly urged to review both this website and the University Parking Policy website in order to familiarize themselves with parking privileges and other parking policies before parking on the Dayton campus.
Student Parking Permits
Reminder: All students parking on campus in a personal vehicle must register a vehicle license plate with the Department of Public Safety (DPS). DPS regularly scans vehicle license plates to confirm all vehicles are registered to park on campus.
The university no longer processes permits in person.
You may purchase your parking permit at your at wrightparking.t2hosted.com/Account/Portal

Lake Campus
Lake Campus students, please visit the Wright State Lake Campus Employee and Student Parking website at lake.wright.edu/campus-life/employee-and-student-parking for parking information.
Employee Parking Permits
Parking permit rates are as follows:
- General Permit ($13.33/month by payroll deduction)
- Rowdy Permit ($25.00/month by payroll deduction)
Additionally, in our continuing effort to streamline and simplify the process, Parking Services has improved the auto-enrollment feature that makes the purchase of a parking permit easier and more flexible than ever. Wright State employees have a monthly pre-tax payroll deduction supporting the type of permit that meets their needs. There is also an opt-out option for those not driving a vehicle to and from campus.
The process is simple. Employee permits, when issued, will auto-renew every year. Please note, all employees still have the option of changing their parking permit status once per fiscal year. For example, employees may upgrade to a Rowdy Permit, downgrade to a General Parking Permit, or may choose to have their permit deactivated. Permits will be deactivated as a part of the process of an employee separating from the university.
Newly hired employees will be given a link at their orientation that can be used to indicate whether they wish to have a General Parking Permit, a Rowdy Parking Permit, or whether they wish to opt out of having a parking permit. Those not attending an orientation may make their parking permit choice by sending an email to parking@wright.edu.
Once your permit has been issued to you, you may add or remove vehicle license plates to your permit by visiting your My Parking Account. As a reminder, you may link up to three (3) vehicles at a given time. You must add or delete vehicles to/from your permit; this is not done automatically.
Those who opt-out of a parking permit will not be able to purchase a parking permit online and will need to purchase the permit in-person in 060 Allyn Hall, and it will be paid for via Payroll Deduction. Additionally, those who elect to Opt-Out of purchasing a parking permit acknowledge that citations issued to them are not appealable.
Cancellation of an Employee Parking Permit
Purpose and Scope
This framework outlines the conditions under which employee parking permits may be canceled or modified. It applies to all Wright State University employees enrolled in payroll deduction for parking permits.
Framework Statement
Parking permits are issued on an annual basis, with the cost distributed evenly through monthly pre-tax payroll deductions. As such, permits are not considered month-to-month and are not eligible for temporary suspension based on intermittent campus use.
Cancellation Eligibility
Parking permit cancellations are permitted only upon separation from employment. Permits will be canceled upon confirmation of an employee's separation, such as resignation, retirement, or termination, and payroll deductions will cease accordingly.
The Division of Campus Safety reserves the right to review exceptional circumstances on a case-by-case basis when operational, legal, or university-directed considerations warrant review.
Non-Eligible Circumstances
Cancellations will not be granted for:
- Temporary absences, such as vacation, medical leave, or academic breaks
- Remote or hybrid work arrangements
- Reduced campus presence or personal preference
Employees remain responsible for the full annual permit cost regardless of usage.
Annual Election and Changes
Employees may modify their parking status once per year through the established permit selection process.
Parking permit rates are subject to review and adjustment by the university. Employees enrolled in payroll deduction for parking permits will be provided notice of approved pricing changes at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the adjustment when reasonably practicable.
Process and Compliance
- All cancellations must be approved through the Department of Public Safety.
- Payroll deductions will continue until an eligible cancellation is confirmed.
- Unauthorized assumption of cancellation may result in continued payroll deduction and enforcement.
Effective Date: 06/08/2026
