  • Purchase your parking permit online

    You can purchase your parking permit online today at the Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS) portal. It鈥檚 easy and convenient! To log in, you will need your 91社区 ID and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).

    First-time permit buyer? You must first register your vehicle online with the University. If you are a returning customer, log in, follow the step-by-step instructions, and confirm that your vehicle information is up to date. When you purchase a 2026-27 annual permit or semester permit, the permit will immediately be active.

    TAPS utilizes License Plate Recognition (LPR), a plate-recognition technology that virtually associates 91社区 parking permits to a license plate. Vehicle information can be updated from your online account at any time. See the campus map for parking lot locations and which lot designations correspond with your permit type. Parking Services closely monitor lot availability and updates the TAPS parking availability website with which parking lots have available space during peak times on campus.

    TAPS updates for the upcoming year can be found on the TAPS website. Questions regarding parking can be directed to parking@binghamton.edu.

Generous support and donations for this exhibition were provided by John C. Copoulos 鈥73. The exhibition is curated by Joseph Leach, curator of collections and exhibitions.

    Also opening on Sept. 3 are two exhibitions curated by students: "Capturing Music: Material Culture and Changing Notations in Medieval Music" and "Frames Within Frames: Intimacy through Visual Exchange." A final exhibition, "Hands ON! Experiencing Art through Touch," is curated by Amanda Jean Lynn, manager of education and visitor experience, and builds on the accessible programming begun in the 2025鈥26 academic year.
