PARKING ON THURSDAY, 10/26- LOTS CLOSE AT 1pm
As most of you are already aware, most lots near Kerr will be closing at 1pm on on 10/26 for a football game. We realize the challenges this may present to those of you that drive to work. Please work with your supervisor to determine your plan for that day. Reminder that there is a free parking lot at the Benton County Fairgrounds and travel back and forth to campus in a courtesy shuttle. The shuttle will run from 4:30 a.m. through three hours after the game ends. Campus residents with parking permits will have uninterrupted access to R Zone lots throughout the day and night on Oct. 26. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THANKS FOR YOUR FLEXIBLITY!!!
Here are a few things to know and options for commuting to the Corvallis campus on Oct. 26:
- Parking flexibility. On Oct. 26, OSU parking permit holders can park in any commuter zone (Zones A, B, C and D) on campus. However, cars belonging to employees in the orange lots on the linked map must be removed by 1 p.m. that day.
- Fairgrounds shuttle service. Instead of parking on campus on Oct. 26, utilize a free parking lot at the Benton County Fairgrounds and travel back and forth to campus in a courtesy shuttle. The shuttle will run from 4:30 a.m. through three hours after the game ends.
- Public transit. We encourage employees to use local transit to travel to and from campus. For details about routes and times of service, please see the Corvallis Transit System website.
