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.

Parking?

Parking? What parking. That is few and far between on this campus. You park on the outskirts and finding a spot can be difficult.

Cars Can Be Difficult

Getting a parking pass for campus can be very expensive. However if you don't have a parking pass, the availability of street spots is very limited. Also only 2 hour parking spots, meaning you would have to repark your car in between every class. There is not a lot of need for a car on campus, almost everything you could need is within walking distance and the EMX bus system is very accessible.
