Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

No campus is perfect, and parking just may be BYU’s
Achilles’ heel. Parking passes are inexpensive; however, an almost unlimited number are sold, so a pass is no guarantee of a spot. Students with classes after 8 a.m. will have to hope for a miracle if they want to park anywhere near campus. Even if you can get into a Y lot south of campus, you will have to hike up many flights of stairs to get onto campus.

Enter the saving grace of the BYU parking situation: the free bus pass. This allows students to avoid the parking nightmare altogether and ride the bus that drops them off right in the middle of campus. Freshmen are allowed to park near the dorms, and given the great location of the dorms, they have little need to drive.

Eh

I mean, I like being able to have good parking, and they have it, but it's kind of expensive and it's almost faster to just run or bike across campus rather than mess around with the permits, finding a spot, locking up, etc.

Does Not Encourage Other Modes of Transport

Parking is free, but highly limited, while other forms of transport are discouragde due to exorbitant rates (public transport) or lack of facilities (e.g. bike lanes). Because most students live off campus, this becomes a tremendous problem.

Very Crowded

It is extremely crowded and you can't get away with parking violations. You will get a ticket. Best just to walk or take the bus. Most people walk. Even if you are handicapped good luck.

Getting a Parking Permit

Anyone can get a parking permit; there is no limit on the number sold. You do have to have an emissions test for your car, so if you are coming from a state that doesn’t require one, be prepared to pay $30 for the emissions test.
