Parking and Transportation

The University strongly encourages use of alternative and environmentally friendly forms of transportation. For example, students and employees may purchase discounted Salem bus passes, rent an on-campus Zipcar at the special educational rate, or rent a bike at the Willamette Bike Shop.

Parking for personal vehicles is limited and permits are required year-round.

  • STANDARD permits ($120/year) are valid in any Standard lot.  The University does not limit the number of Standard permits it sells, and a permit does not guarantee a space.
  • RESERVED permits ($390/year) are restricted to a specific Reserved lot or area, and a space is guaranteed; parking in Standard lots is permitted evenings ad weekends.
  • KANEKO COMMONS RESIDENTS have LIMITED access to Reserved or Standard lot parking: in the Kaneko Reserved lot, or in the Standard lot south of the softball field.  Permits are $250/year.
  • OTHER PERMITS/OPTIONS
    • 5-Use Permit ($5 for first permit/$10 each additional) is valid in Standard lots only.
    • Discounted bus passes are $6.25 for 11-ride pass; $17.50 for monthly pass; $210 for annual pass.
    • Guest/Visitor Lot is for University-invited guests via online reservation; unreserved spaces can be purchased after 7:00 a.m. for that day.
