Overview

Electric Vehicle Parking
RIT offers Level II EV charging stations in D, L, M and T lots. Community members are still required to purchase a parking permit and park according to the permit when not charging. Anyone with an EV can use these stations with an active ParkMobile session. Rates are $0.50 per hour for the first four hours, then $4 per hour afterward. To ensure access for all, please limit charging to four hours. Vehicles must be moved to a permit-appropriate space or a ParkMobile zone. Visitors must use a valid visitor pass or ParkMobile session. Some stations are part of the ChargePoint network, which requires a free account and card to activate.
