Parking Permit

Resident students may purchase a parking permit for the 2018-2019 academic year for $90 per term or $270 for the year. OSU-Cascades will evaluate the ability to offer this permit each academic year, based on parking demand and capacity.

Free Parking

Students that do not pay for parking are encouraged to park in the free residential parking lot at 1000 SW Bradbury Way. Parking overnight on city streets adjacent to campus is discouraged to maintain spaces for use by patrons of adjacent businesses. 

The free residential parking lot is accessible by:

  • Foot (12-15 minute walk)
  • Bike, use your free membership to ride Zagster bikes (5-8 minutes)
  • Bus, service every 30 minutes via CET Routes 10 and 11. Download the "Transit App" to get real-time bus arrival information on your phone
  • Safety Escort service is available through the Department of Public Safety for students who feel unsafe traveling between the off-site lot and residence hall after dark or during extreme weather

Resident Visitor Parking

During fee hours (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), guests of residents are subject to standard visitor parking policies.

To avoid a citation during fee hours, add your visitors' license plate to your parking account at https://osuparking.lprpermit.com prior to their arrival. A maximum of two vehicles can be registered on one students' account.
