Annual Permit vs Daily Scratch Cards Option
With many staff now agile working, an annual permit may no longer be the most cost effective option for some. This will depend on how frequently you visit campus over the year as well as your pay grade and FTE level. Beyond a certain frequency of campus visits each week during the year, the annual permit option will be the most cost effective one. The following table provides a summary of the pricing tipping points between the daily scratch card option and the annual permit option.
