The Parking & Fare Subsidy System (PFSS)

The Parking Permit Program and the Fare Subsidy Program are both managed within the Facilities and Administrative Services Division. PFSS is a Web-based application that allows users a single point of access to both programs.

Parking Permits

Garage parking permits are available to Civil Service personnel via quarterly subscriptions and are assigned on a point system per HQPD 1541.2J for eligible carpools and vanpools, individuals, executive and key personnel, and disabled employees. The point priority list is reviewed in conjunction with the renewal process. Currently, motor vehicle permits cost $150 per quarter. Please see Using the HQ Garage FAQ for detailed information. Credit cards (Visa, MasterCard and American Express) may be used to pay for quarterly parking permits. As before, personal checks and money orders are also accepted for quarterly parking permits. Daily permits may be purchased with cash or prepaid parking validation stickers.

Fare Subsidy Program

Civil Service personnel who use public transportation as their primary means of transportation to and from work are eligible to receive a subsidy, providing they are not also listed as a carpool participant or holder of a motor vehicle parking permit at NASA headquarters. This includes those who commute via metro, rail, Metro bus or private commuter bus. NASA HQ uses the Smart Benefits program that was established through Metro. Reimbursement rates are determined by individual commuting cost, up to a maximum of $120 per month, per Executive Order 13150. Please see the Fare Subsidy FAQ for detailed information.
