Ohio State's Department of Transportation and Traffic Management continues to work diligently to follow social distancing guidelines on all CABS buses. If you are interested in the details of their efforts, please review TTM's CABS Update.
- If you’re primary goal is to park on central campus, we recommend logging in and visiting the Permit Comparison Tool to view the list of permits you are eligible to purchase. You may already be eligible to purchase an annual permit that provides access to central campus parking.
- If you're not eligible for an annual permit that provides access to your desired location, we recommend reviewing the temporary monthly permit options (TM & VGA). Please note: Underclassmen may not be eligible for all temporary permits.
- Hourly parking is also available through the Parkmobile app or in garages. Check out the visitor tab on SureParc to learn where you can pay hourly to park.
All of our annual permits have a monthly proration, which makes it easy to try hourly, daily or monthly parking before deciding what might work best for you. This means you can purchase an annual permit later if you end up being on campus more than you expected.
The ParkMobile app can be used to pay for parking in any unrestricted surface lot space (A, B, C, CX, WA, WB, WC, WCO) across campus, and the Permit Comparison Tool will provide you with details on daily (TS) and monthly (TM, OTM, WTM, VGA) permit options.
Yes! We have expanded our student payment plan to all student annual permits, and we’re waiving the administrative set-up fee. The payment plan divides the cost of the permit into two payments. The first payment is due at the time of purchase, and the second payment is due on the first business day in January. Check out our Student Payment Plan page for more details!
