Special Events Parking Request

The Department of Public Safety (DPS) endeavors to accommodate special and event parking requests for the University of Oregon community.  However, an increasing demand for this service can conflict with the normal parking demands of students, faculty and staff and may result in a significant loss of available parking. With this in mind, we will endeavor to provide parking for special requests, guests, events, but we can not guarantee space will be available.

Instructions

Instructions

1. Requests for special parking arrangements (EMU Lot 29A reservation or hooded meter spaces) must arrive at OPS a minimum of five (5) business days prior to the event. Specific areas or spaces will be reserved subject to availability on a first-come, first-served basis.
2. The fee for parking arrangements reflects the cost of a metered parking space -- i.e. $15.00 per day per meter to be hooded and $660.00 per day for the EMU Visitor Lot 29A, in 1 day blocks.
3. In your request, include the dates and times of your event (with the west gate access time for Lot 29A), what the event is, who is sponsoring it, the name, phone number and e-mail address for the contact person and the account number for payment. Advise us of a short acronym or name that we may place on silver tape on each meter hood being placed in order to identify your reservation. If you are requesting to reserve the EMU Visitor Lot 29A, advise us as to whether or not you will be providing a west gate attendant (strongly recommended), and if so, when they will arrive at the lot. We do not hood meters for Lot 29A reservations -- the bollards are closed at the east and west ends, and the lot is posted on these bollards as to the reserved status.
4. In your reservation request, you may ask for the approximate location of the spaces you would like reserved. We will endeavor to reserve the spaces in that area if it is possible.  We will not make telephone reservations or confirmations so that errors and misunderstandings may be avoided. We will be unable to specify exact locations of reserved spaces (i.e. meter #123-23 in front of Gerlinger Hall), but we will be able to confirm that the location will be, for example, on University Street between 15th and Johnson Lane.
5. We will continue to strive to provide for these special requests, but it must be remembered that we have a primary duty to try and manage our limited parking resources for the students, faculty and staff of the University while maintaining as much available parking for daily visitors and guests as we possibly can.
