CPFM had two sessions last month for folks to get their parking questions answered. Here are some common questions and answers! 

Why does the UO have a zonal parking system?

To manage parking demand by maximizing the use of all parking lots.
Provide a reasonable opportunity for permit holders to find parking in their desired location throughout the day.
Offer price tiers that allow customers multiple options while also allowing Transportation Services to meet its financial commitments.
Reduce congestion and vehicular activity in the core of campus in alignment with the Campus Transportation Plan.

What are the commuter parking zones at the UO?

Zone A - These zones, at the highest price level, 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.
Zone B – These zones are located around campus, at the mid-price level, are managed so that permit holders have a reasonable likelihood of finding parking at most times of the day.
Zone C – This zone is located on the periphery of campus with lots located within a 10–15-minute walk to most campus locations . C Zone provides the most affordable parking option.

Why do we pay to park? 

It is standard for universities to charge for parking as a way to manage parking demand. Revenue from parking permits funds future parking construction, parking lot maintenance and repairs, and the Transportation Services department.

How many parking spaces are on campus?

There are approximately 4000 spaces on campus. That means there is approximately one space for every seven people! Biking, carpooling, public transit, or other modes of transportation are encouraged for this reason!

Why do we have to renew our permits every term?

Due to student and faculty rotations, new and departing staff, changes to parking lots and locations, and changing work schedules, the quarterly renewal system allows all staff a chance to get the permit of their preference. The renewal system is designed so that staff are prioritized during the process. 

What do I do if I can't get a parking permit?

Please add yourself to the waitlist and ask your supervisor to contact transportation services. They will do everything they can to find you a parking permit!

When do permits go on sale?

Permits become available for renewal 5 weeks before the term starts. During the first two weeks of renewal, existing permit holders have renewal priority. For more information on permit renewal and purchases, visit their website: https://transportation.uoregon.edu/term-permit-purchases. 

If you have questions in the future please contact Dave Reesor at dreesor@uoregon.edu or visit their website at https://transportation.uoregon.edu/parking.

Jude, I want to express again how appreciative I am of you and the service you provide to campus. You are great at including our safety team, when it’s warranted. You are super helpful in digging up additional information for me whenever I call. But mostly, I appreciate your professionalism in your responses to folks who are bringing forward the concerns. Your responses are so polite with clear information for those looking to Work Control for help. Thanks for all you do to keep campus running safely and smoothly! - Haily Griffith, SRS

I just wanted to say a huge thank you (to BAS & Mechanical) for fixing the problem in Fenton Hall. The strange sounds have been gone for days now and it is such a relief! My office is finally quiet for the first time all year, and I'm so grateful.  Thanks! Leigh

Dear CPFM colleagues,

I’m no stranger to wintry weather but my years in Wisconsin didn’t quite prepare me for last week’s ice storm. I am so appreciative of your work during this remarkable event. Thanks to your efforts, we were able to keep our campuses safe for the students who were on-site during the closure, and to return to full operation relatively quickly. I was also impressed by the preparation and responsiveness of the CPFM team as the weather evolved.

Given the conditions around the state, including here in Lane County, I am sure that some of you were challenged to reach campus yourselves during the storm or may have been affected in other ways (power out, schools closed) while you continued to focus on the university’s needs.

Thank you for your service and dedication to the university and its mission. It’s further proof that I have joined a community of caring, dedicated colleagues.

Sincerely,

Karl Scholz, President
