COVID-19 Parking Refund Procedures Established

Thank you for your patience as the university worked through the logistics for establishing refunds due to COVID-19.  Information went out to the university community from President Holton regarding all refunds on April 1.  Parking and Transportation sent out parking specific emails to all impacted people on Friday, April 3.  For details on the process for faculty and staff who use payroll deduction, for faculty/staff who purchased parking passes, and for students, please visit the Parking Refund page.  If you have any questions, please contact Parking and Transportation at parking@gmu.edu.

Due to COVID-19, Bird and Spin have paused operations at Mason until further notice.  All three companies – Bird, Spin, and Lime have also paused their operations in the City of Fairfax (Lime had not yet launched at Mason).  If you have any operational questions, please reach out to the scooter companies.  Their contact information can be found on Parking and Transportation’s Shared Mobility page.  If you have any questions about the pilot program at Mason, please reach out to Parking and Transportation at transpo@gmu.edu.
