Motorist Assistance
Motorist Assistance On-campus assistance is available if your car needs a jump-start, if you lock your keys inside your car, or if you have a low tire and need air. If you run out of fuel, we will provide a gallon of gas for you to drive to the nearest station. The following information will be helpful when using the service:
  • Contact a Transportation & Parking Services dispatcher at 614-292-9341.
  • Let the dispatcher know the make, model, color, and location of vehicle requiring assistance.
  • Raise the hood and stay with your vehicle until assistance arrives.
  • In instances where the hood of the vehicle cannot be raised (i.e. lockouts), stay with the vehicle and watch for assistance to arrive.
  • Prior to any services being completed, you will be required to sign a service waiver.
  • For safety reasons, please note that all motorist assistance calls will be responded to by red and white vehicles that say "Traffic & Parking Services" or an OSU Police cruiser.
