Almost all parking at the University of Oregon requires some type of payment or permit. There are two main types of parking on campus: Hourly parking and Permit parking. The majority of parking on campus is managed through license plate recognition, so you will need to know your vehicle's license plate before getting a permit or paying for hourly parking. Please make sure that your license plate information is correct and follow all parking rules and posted signs to avoid a parking ticket. No parking is allowed on campus between the hours of 12am - 5am, except with an appropriate overnight permit.
Parking information for ADA or other mobility challenges can be found on the Accessibility page.
Transportation Services has a range of options to accommodate individuals hosting events on campus, with detailed information available on the Event Parking page. Service vehicles, commercial vehicles, contractors, and construction workers should choose one of the options on the Vendors & Contractors page.
