REVISED: 50% Discount for Borough Parking Permits

Municipal Lot Discount

As in previous years, permits for designated Borough parking lots for the upcoming year will go on sale December 15.

We encourage local businesses, employees, and residents to secure permits early, before Bucknell students return and parking demand increases.

Borough Council is currently discussing a proposed increase in parking permit fees from $50/month to $100/month with a 50% discount to business employees and Borough residents with appropriate documentation.

This increase is expected to be approved at the next Council meeting and will go into effect December 1, 2026, if approved. Under this proposal, eligible local permit holders would continue to pay the same rates as last year.

Earlier communication emphasized the proposed 50% discount without clearly explaining that it is intended to offset a potential fee increase and maintain existing rates for eligible local permit holders. That distinction is being clarified so everyone has an accurate understanding of what is being discussed.
