Parking rates at Kansas University are going up this fall to finance maintenance on lots around campus, KU’s parking department said. Beginning Aug. 1, the prices for every category of parking pass will rise, with the sharpest increases for the most coveted lots. Yellow passes will increase about 10 percent to $225, red passes will increase 20 percent to $270, and blue passes will increase more than 22 percent to $300.

The price increases, passed by the Parking Commission and approved by the provost’s office this spring, are geared toward raising revenue to maintain KU’s parking lots. The parking department has said it would need more than $15 million in improvements, based on a survey of 85 parking lots at KU.
