Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

During busy times of day, particularly morning and afternoon, trying to find a parking spot at UO is like trying to find your car keys when you’re already late—a huge hassle. The University doesn’t have enough parking to accommodate its student population and far oversells permits for the spaces it does keep. Parking passes can be purchased at the beginning of each year and are required for parking on campus. Students agree that passes are too expensive, especially considering the lack of available spaces. In addition, you may still be required to feed parking meters even if you’re in a permit-only zone!

Eugene offers a lot of places to park around campus if you’re carrying a roll of quarters with you. In the neighborhoods surrounding campus, there are many metered side streets and several two-hour zones where students can park for free, but these aren’t always the most convenient. For the most part, parking is a pain in the neck no matter where you are around campus. With a bus system that is free to students and plenty of bike-friendly roads, the luxury of driving to school isn’t worth the time or the money you’ll have to spend at UO.

Most parking is metered street parking. They have recently installed more meters that allow credit card payment. You can get a year pass for parking, but it's really expensive. There is plenty of free parking in the residential areas around campus, but you would have to walk pretty far to get back on campus. Most people ride their bicycles to avoid parking issues.

More Free Parking!

There is free 2 hour parking along the outskirts of campus, but if you want to park close, then you have to buy a permit, which can be really expensive. There should be more free parking, considering we spend a fortune in tuition!!
