DEPARTMENT PERMITS
There are many options for departmental parking needs. If
your specific need is not addressed below, please e-mail us
at tpinfo@osu.edu or call
292-9341 and we will be happy to assist you.
Use of Personal Vehicle for Departmental Business
University policy prohibits a department from paying for an
OSU employee’s annual parking permit. If an employee
drives and parks on campus regularly to get to and from work,
the employee must purchase an OSU parking permit.
However, if the employee must use his/her car for departmental
business and does not have the parking permit necessary to
conduct business, the department may obtain a departmental
parking pass that can be used by any employee as needed. This
permit should be displayed along with the employee’s
parking permit. Options for departmental parking permits are
as follows:
- Departmental “A” –
provides full access to all staff garages and access to
any A, B or C unrestricted surface parking space on central
or west campus. Pricing for this pass is equal to the annual
"A" permit price.
Apply for a Departmental
A Pass.
- Departmental “B” –
provides access only to any B or C unrestricted surface
parking space on central or west campus. Pricing for this
pass is equal to the annual
"B" permit price.

B Pass
Delivery Permits
Delivery permits are free of charge and must be requested
by a department chair, dean, or director. They must be used
in conjunction with an annual "A", "B",
or "C" permit and are valid in a designated loading
zone for 30 minutes. A Delivery Permit will also authorize
any permit type to use an "A", "B", or
"C" space for 30 minutes if accompanied with a Delivery
Permit.

Delivery Permit.
Service Vehicle Permits
Vehicles with state plates are able to park in any legal A,
B or C surface parking space, or in general state vehicle
parking. If they park in a time restricted permit space (such
as a 2 hour “A” space), they must obey the posted
time.
Access to area garages will require the use of a “SV”
keycard. These keycards may be purchased for using approved
departmental methods and are renewable annually. Access to
the Hospitals Garage and other designated patient parking
locations is not provided.
For the 2008-2009 permit year, this SV keycard costs $50.25

Vehicle Permit.
Reserved Parking Spaces
Some departments require the use of dedicated parking spaces
to conduct business. These spaces are reserved for departmental
use, state vehicles, and other outside guests and visitors.
There is an annual fee equal to two times the "A"
parking rate for each reserved parking space. OSU employees
who use these spaces must also purchase and display the appropriate
A or B parking permit necessary for their employment classification.
Contact us at tpinfo@osu.edu
for information on reserved parking spaces.

DEPARTMENT VISITOR PERMITS
Transportation & Parking Services relies on departments
who invite guests and visitors to campus to provide their
guests with appropriate parking information to avoid parking
illegally on campus.
There are many parking options for your visitors and guests.
Departments may choose to prepay for parking for a guest or
visitor or require them to pay for their own parking.
Prepaid Parking Options for Department Visitors
Prepaid parking options for guests/visitors require that a
department complete a parking
permit application for University Departments and
complete a 100W in order to purchase parking for their guests
in advance.
Self-Paid Options for Department Visitors
Self-pay options, which require the visitor to
purchase their own parking, include parking at meters, paying
the posted hourly fee in parking garages, or purchasing surface
or garage parking permits as follows.
Garage Parking - A reduced rate voucher
for parking facilities (ValueCard)
is available to visitors to be used at the time of exit for
a discount rate. Access to certain facilities may be limited
and they are not accepted for any football or special event
parking. These reduced rate vouchers may be obtained in 160
Bevis Hall.
Surface Lot Parking - Single-day
and multi-day parking permits may be purchased by anyone
who needs to park at the University and are valid for surface
lots only. If the visitor chooses to park at a meter or pay
facility (i.e. garage), all hourly fees must be paid.
- Scratching off one month, one day and one year validates
the visitor parking permit. The date exposed for the single-day
is the date of the actual visit. The date exposed for the
multi-day is the last day of the visit and is valid from
the date of purchase through the date exposed. If more than
one of each category is exposed, the permit is void and
if displayed on a vehicle, the vehicle is subject to fines
and/or impoundment.
- Visitors will be assigned specific parking designations
by Transportation & Parking Services. Designated parking
areas will be written on the front of the single-day or
multi-day permit in the comment box.
Visitor permits may be purchased from our office in room
160 Bevis Hall, 1080 Carmack Road, on West Campus. You may
bring the application below with you or fill out an application
at the office.

Planning Parking for Large Events
If you are planning on having 100 or more visitors parking
on campus at the same time on any given day, complete an event
notification sheet so that we can assist you with parking
arrangements. Since there are often many smaller events happening
on campus at the same time, it is recommended that T&P
be notified in advance for events with just 30-50 guests or
you can check the event
calendar.
