Zones
Beginning Fall 2024, students will have new options and flexibility with regard to their parking options. By implementing a zone concept, Parking & Transportation is able to allow students to park in multiple lots within some zones. Students can purchase commuter permits in the following zones and gain access to any of the lots within that Zone:
Zone 1: Lots 11, 13, and 21
Zone 2: Lots 29, 30, 31 and 32
Zone 3: Lot 42
