Retiree Parking

Persons who have officially retired from the Texas A&M University System are eligible for a retiree parking permit if they are not currently on the TAMUS payroll. This privilege is reserved for fully retired individuals receiving no compensation from the University and is intended for personal use during occasional visits to campus. If you resume employment with the University, retiree parking privileges will cease. A TAMUS picture identification card is required for permit issuance.

Retiree Permit Eligibility and Cost

As part of a previously grandfathered benefit, retirees who retired prior to August 31, 2021, received a complimentary retiree parking permit for five years. Beginning with the 2026–27 permit year, retiree parking permits will no longer be complimentary. Retired Faculty and Staff will be eligible to receive a retiree permit at a greatly reduced rate ($58 for 2026-27 permit year).

Texas A&M University System Employees

In honor of their service, Transportation Services instituted half-price parking options for Texas A&M University System employees who have officially retired and have returned to work on the College Station campus.

• Half-price working retiree permits will be offered for unnumbered space parking in the surface lots and garages listed on the Retiree Parking Map.
• Half-price permits are not available in premium areas such as gated lots or reserved numbered spaces. Working retirees may receive parking assignments in these premium areas but must pay the full price. Rates

System employees eligible for half-price working retiree permits are not eligible to use automatic payroll deduction (APD) to pay for their permits. Once their permits are auto-renewed, they must login to My Account and complete payment online.
