The Parking Services Division is a self-supported auxiliary service of Kent State University. It does not receive financial support from mandatory student fees, the University, or the State of Ohio. Parking Services' operating budget is derived from income generated through student and employee permit sales, visitor parking fees, parking violation fines, and special event parking. Income is used for the operation of Parking Services, the maintenance and improvement of existing parking areas, and the construction of additional parking areas.
