Commuter parking is available to employees, students, and campus associates. Parking lots are divided into 10 different zones by location and offered at three different price points. Permits can be purchased for an Academic Term, 30 Day, or Single Day duration. Permit holders may park in any unmarked space within their zone as well as unmarked spaces in lower-priced zones.
Eligibility
Eligibility is determined by your affiliation in Banner. Those with active student or paid employee affiliations in Banner will have access to Academic Term and 30 Day permits. Students living in residence halls will have access to the appropriate residential permit. Day permits are available to those with an active affiliation as well as visitors to the University of Oregon.
Cost
Permit costs vary based on which zone your permit is valid in. Permit prices are shown for each zone below as well as on the parking portal. After the start date, Academic Term permits are pro-rated based on the published schedule. Payment can be made by credit card and either payroll deduction or student billing, depending on university affiliation. Additional payment information is at the bottom of this page.
Availability
Term permits are available for purchase up to five weeks before the permit begins, with the first two weeks reserved for existing term permit holders to renew their permit. Visit the permit purchase page to learn more. 30 Day and Single Day permits are available on a rolling basis. Sales of all permit types are limited based on available capacity in a zone.

A Zones
There are four A Zones on campus. These zones are best for those who need access to the center of campus or who would like a very high likelihood at finding a space at any time of day. Permits in A Zones are sold on a 1:1 basis with available spaces. A Zone permits may also park in B and C Zones, but may not park in other A Zones. Selecting a zone image below will open a pdf that shows parking locations available to that permit.
| Term Permit | 30 Day Permit | Day Permit |
|---|---|---|
| $390 | $130 | $10 |
B Zones
There are four B Zones around campus, proximate to classrooms, labs, and offices. These zones are managed so that permit holders have a reasonable likelihood of finding parking at most times of the day. These lots may be full at peak times. B zone permits may also park in C zones, but may not park in other B Zones.

13th Ave Garage
The 13th Ave Garage is priced like other B Zones, but operates a bit differently as permit holders may be asked to leave the garage early on Matthew Knight Arena event days. On days when events at the Matthew Knight Arena require permit holders to vacate the garage, 13th Avenue Garage permits will also be valid in all B-East lots. Transportation Services will provide advance notifications for these event days.

| $171 | $57 | N/A |
C Zone
There is a single zone for all C lots, which are located on the periphery of campus. C Zone provides the most affordable parking option for Term and 30-day permits. The almost 700 space Millrace Garage is located in C zone. More information on using the garage is available below. A Zone, B Zone, and C Zone Day permits may park in any C lot except the Millrace garage.
