Parking Regulations

The growth of Utah State University, the increasing number of vehicles on campus and the on-going construction make it necessary for everyone to drive and park in an orderly manner. All employees, students and visitors operating vehicles on campus are required to comply with the USU Parking Regulation and the Utah State Code. By complying with these regulations, you make life a little easier for yourself and others in the campus community.

This is a condensed version of the Parking Regulations. It is not a complete or detailed listing, but it should answer some common questions.

 

Parking Permits

Parking permits are required Monday through Friday during the hours posted in each parking area. Parking permits do not guarantee a place to park. However, all vehicles parking on campus must display a valid parking permit.

To be valid, a permit must be clearly visible and hang from the inside rear view mirror of the vehicle. We recommend that all old decals and hanging permits be removed. Decals may be removed by parking services if you bring the vehicle to the parking office.

 

Neighborhood Parking Program

The City of Logan restricts parking in neighborhoods adjacent to the University. Watch for signs in these restricted areas.

 

Meter Parking

Metered areas are enforced at various times depending on the locations. See meters for specific times. If a vehicle is parked continuously, citations may be issued every two hours.

 

No Parking Areas

The following areas are enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:

Green Curbs
Red Curbs
Yellow Curbs
Roadways
Driveways
Sidewalks
Lawns
Fire Hydrants
Service Areas
Disabled-Only Spaces

 

Lost or Stolen Permits

In the event that a permit is lost or stolen, report it immediately to the Parking Office. A replacement permit will be issued upon completion of a Lost/Stolen Permit Report. The replacement fee is $5.00.

 

Recovered lost or stolen permits must be returned to the Parking Office as soon as possible. Use of a lost or stolen permit by anyone will result in a $100 fine and vehicle impoundment.

 

Disabled Vehicle

In the event that a vehicle becomes disabled, you may call the parking office and request a disabled vehicle permit be placed in the vehicle.  This permit will prevent the vehicle from being ticketed for a maximum of 6 hours allowing time for the vehicle to be repaired or removed from the lot.

 

Motorcycles

Motorcycle, including moped, parking is provided in specially marked areas throughout campus. Motorcycles must have permits and park only within designated areas. Automobiles may not use motorcycle parking areas, and motorcycles may not use automobile spaces except at paid meters. No motorcycles are allowed in the Parking Terrace.

Service Areas – Loading and Unloading

Service areas may only be used by private vehicles after obtaining a Loading Permit from Parking Services. The permit is free if loading/unloading is less than 30 minutes, $5.00 if between 30 minutes and two hours.

 

Tips to a Ticketless Experience at USU

  • Use the USU Shuttle Bus to get to and from campus. Parking at the Stadium is only $23 per year, and the shuttle is easier, quicker and FREE.
  • Know the rules and observe them.
  • Park only in designated parking spaces.
  • Park only in areas specified for use with your permit.
  • Make sure your permit is hanging and visible.
  • Do not use disabled-only areas for loading or unloading, even if the vehicle is occupied.
  • Read and follow instructions on all signs posted at each parking area.
  • Do not park over the space line, on sidewalks or lawns.
  • Park at meters only for the allotted time.
  • Remember, parking in the same manner as another illegally parked vehicle does not make you exempt from a ticket.
  • Parking requires thought, consideration, effort, and perhaps a little extra time. Allow yourself that time.
  • Review when Parking Areas are Open to the Public on this website.
