SEA Parking Portal

The long-awaited new parking system is now live for Employee Parking! On June 6th, Employee Parking launched our new SEA Parking Portal. The new SEA Parking Portal is delivering the ability to handle your own information. This means no more update forms or waiting for the Employee Parking office staff to be available to call in for any changes. You’ll be able to update on your own time, as it fits your schedule. So those of you burning the midnight oil won’t have to lose sleep waiting for the EP office to pick up the phone so you can change your vehicle information or update your email to make sure you can receive notifications.

Employee Parking is now proud to say for all those who have asked: Yes, this new system does have an automated monthly billing option! After logging in, self-paid parkers will be able to select their parking permit and enter their credit/debit information to set up their parking subscription. About time, right?

No worries for self-paid parkers who prefer to pay with cash or check.  Our window and payment boxes are still available. It would get lonely without our regulars after all. 

For parkers, new and old, self-paid and company paid alike, there is a step-by-step guide available to walk you through the new program, just follow the link to the tutorial page.
