The Pitt Park app debuted on Dec. 15 for faculty, staff and students to begin reserving spots at select campus parking garages and lots for January.
The app, created by ParkZen, requires a Pitt Passport login, making it exclusive for faculty, staff and students. It is available for download for iOS and Android devices.
“As the Pitt community continues to grow, we’ve heard from our students, staff and faculty that they struggle to find places to park,” said Jonathan Pearson, director of mobility. “By restricting Pitt Park to only those who have access to Pitt Passport, we hope to free up more spaces for our community members to use.”
Users can reserve a spot up to 30 days in advance at the following places (find a map of all parking locations here):
-
Posvar Garage (A Lot): $8.19

Panther Hollow (PH Lot): $5.85
