Parking Fees
Parking fees are in effect between June 1 and August 24. Everyone driving a car to Gothic for research, education, or work will need a parking permit. Parking permits are not required for the Visitors Center, public tours, youth program drop-offs, or the Coffee Lab.
There are separate parking rates for Principal Investigator (PI) Research Vehicles and for Student/RA/Guest Vehicles. PIs can purchase parking permits at the ‘Research Vehicle’ rate for vehicles that are used by the research team, regardless of who owns the vehicle. This is allowable on the condition that the vehicles are primarily used for research. Parking permits may be transferred between individuals; for example, between members of a carpool group or from a PI to members of his or her research team. Scientists owning vehicles through RMBL are required to pay parking fees in Gothic.
