Metered Parking

Metered parking is available in several locations on campus. No permit is required for metered parking areas. Payment at metered spaces is required during posted hours.

ADA Parking

Spaces reserved for the physically challenged require both an OSU visitor permit or Proud Parent Card and a valid DMV placard. With a valid DMV placard, any meter that has a limit of more than 30 minutes does not require payment. This policy is enforced at all times.
