New parking and transportation fees effective July 1
Last year, the Board of Regents approved a three-year transportation fee schedule that provides for increases on July 1. For a list of 2005-2006 fees, see www.washington.edu/admin/parking/2004fees.html. Choices are available to help students and employees manage their transportation expenses and minimize the need to drive every day. Walking, biking, carpooling and taking the bus are excellent ways to reduce spending on commuting.
Sample of fee changes effective July 1:
- Single Occupant Vehicle (SOV) Parking Permit: $232.86 per quarter
- Daily gatehouse permit: $10 per day
- Montlake E1 Parking: $2.62 with a Husky Card Account debit
- Student U-PASS: $41 per quarter
- Faculty/staff U-PASS: $57 per quarter

Study participants wanted
Have you ever been told that you have borderline diabetes, pre-diabetes, gestational diabetes or high fasting blood sugar? Did you have diabetes only during pregnancy? Are you overweight or do you have high blood pressure? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may have pre-diabetes and be eligible to volunteer for a study of an investigational new drug being conducted by the UW/VA Puget Sound Health Care System Diabetes Research Group. This is not a treatment study. The study will involve:
- Six visits to the clinic over about three months, three of which will involve testing glucose metabolism.
- Taking study drug or placebo, and
- Keeping a diary of meals and medications.
For more information, please call 206-768-5281.
