Visitor & Event Parking Request Information

Visitors, including contractors and service providers, wishing to use parking facilities operated by Transportation Services on the University Park campus, or any property owned or leased by The Pennsylvania State University, must obtain a permit or pay for time at a designated visitor parking area during posted lot reserved hours.

Students and employees of any Penn State campus or location are not considered visitors at any time.

To obtain visitor parking, departments can use the Visitor & Event Request Form to submit special requests for on-campus parking.  This form can be found on the Hosting an Event page on the Transportation Services website.  Explore the parking options available for events or daily visitors and submit a request form.  Transportation Services staff will then review the request and reach out to the point of contact on the form to arrange the best available parking solution.  

Additional Visitor Parking Information can be found by visiting the Transportation Services website here.
