Transportation & Parking

Rooftop Parking Policies

Parking at AUS is very limited and, except for visitor parking, is available by permit only. Reserved permit holders are assigned specific spaces. All other permits offer space-available parking only. Please refer to the labels on parking spaces and/or the color-coded parking lot diagram for locations of the various types of parking spaces. Vehicles not parked in a correct space for the type of permit they display will be ticketed and may be towed.

AUS does not provide parking for special events or workshops. There is metered parking along the streets, as well as in pay lots in the surrounding areas. On-street parking is free after 6 p.m. Parking regulations are enforced rigorously.

Disabled Parking
There are four disabled parking spaces located near the elevator entrance on the roof. These spaces are available to only those AUS community members displaying both a valid AUS parking permit and a valid Washington State Disabled Placard and to visitors (See Visitor Parking) with a valid Washington State Disabled Placard. The time frames and limitations associated with each permit apply when using these spaces. Rooftop parking, with the exception of the reserved spaces, is on a space available basis only. Unauthorized vehicles parked in these spaces will be ticketed and towed without warning.

Student Quarterly Weekend/Evening Parking
Permits for student quarterly weekend/evening parking are available for purchase to AUS students. They are valid for spaces marked “AUS Quarterly Permit Only” and may be used after 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and all day on weekends. AUS cannot provide rooftop parking to students before 6 p.m. weekdays.

Visitor Parking
Four spaces have been designated for visitor parking. Visitors are persons on university business who are guests, including prospective students, degree committee members, guest speakers, interpreters, translators, job applicants and members of the Board of Trustees and Board of Visitors. Visitors must sign into the visitor log located at the Front Office with legible and complete information. Students, paid consultants, employees and adjunct faculty are not visitors and may not use visitor parking. Visitor parking is limited to two hours.
