Student Transportation/Parking on and Around Campus

Bike Share

RidePace.com/Purdue Purdue offers a cost-effective alternative to owning and maintaining a bike: the Pace bike share program. With a convenient app, pay-as-you-go pricing, and the ability to park at any rack on campus, Pace smart bikes are a fantastic way to get around.

Bicycle Registration

www.purdue.edu/bikes/riding Bicycle registration allows university officials to contact your student if there is an issue with their bike, allows students to easily provide proof of ownership if they need assistance with a bike, and helps recover lost and stolen bikes. Registration is free and can be completed at the Purdue Parking and Transportation office or at PUPD.

Zipcar

zipcar.com/universities/purdue-university Purdue is proud to partner with Zipcar to offer a parking alternative that also includes access to Zipcars parked across the city.

Student Parking

purdue.edu/parking In 2018, Parking Facilities implemented License Plate Recognition (LPR), removing the need for students to have a physical permit. The LPR system allows Parking Facilities to enforce parking by the driver’s plate rather than a physical permit that is displayed in the window. The system allows parking enforcement officers to utilize a scanner that reads license plates as they patrol to determine if a vehicle parked in that space has been properly registered with Purdue Parking Facilities for on-campus parking.

“C” Permits

Any registered student whose local place of residence is outside an area at least 1.5 miles from campus may purchase a “C” permit for $100 per year.

Regular Residence Hall Permits

Regular parking permits are available for sophomores, juniors, and seniors living in University Residences. All parking permits are subject to availability. Residence hall permits are valid in any space posted for residence hall permits.

Restricted Residence Hall Permits

Restricted Parking permits are available to first-year students only with the approval of Parking Facilities, a completed Restricted Permit Application, and documentation of one of the following: • Regular medical visits off campus • Classes off campus (excluding the

Airport) • University Residences student service worker • Reserve/active military duty • Off-campus employment

There are a limited number of restricted parking permits available to students who meet the criteria outlined above and are approved by Parking Facilities. It is the responsibility of the applicant to provide any supporting documentation necessary for approval.

These permits are only valid in the east airport lot in spaces posted for residence hall permits.

Freshman Lottery

Shall extra parking spaces be available in residence hall parking spaces, students will be selected through a lottery for the ability to purchase a restricted permit. Information will be posted on the parking website.
