The University parking system maintains that patrons of campus
services and/or events should support the cost and maintenance
of parking facilities through lot use fees and charges paid
by the respective sponsoring venue or by users themselves.
After early July, valid Beginning to End of Acedemic Year
(xx August to xx August, varies year to year)
Groups or individuals hosting events on campus may pay a
lot use fee, which allows
participants/patrons to utilize parking areas on a
space-available basis without having to purchase permits.
This fee is charged per lot used, per group, per day for
the rates noted in the Parking Permit/Fee Cost Schedule.
The lot remains a first-come, first-served area unless
additional arrangements are made with Parking Services.
See Minimum Notification below.
To reserve parking lots and/or spaces, the event sponsor
may, in addition to paying the lot use fee, request parking
attendants to staff the lot. The charge for this service is
based on a current hourly attendant rate and other charges
that are determined by the Event Coordinator.
Sponsors of any event requiring use of parking attendants
must make arrangements with the Parking &
Transportation Services Events Coordinator a minimum of 10
days before the event. At that time location,
number of participants and vehicles involved, and other pertinent
information is to be provided. Otherwise, the
Department may not be able to meet the request for
services.
Patrons attending certain community and on-campus events,
such as football games and other special events, may be
required to pay a fee to park. This fee varies by event and
is charged on a per-car or per-space basis. These fees are
collected upon entry to the parking lots by traffic
attendants, and are based on first-come, first-served,
space-available basis. Event traffic attendants will monitor
the lots during these events. They provide traffic control
during in-load periods and may also assist patrons during
out-load.
All Boise State parking and traffic regulations apply during
events. Parking is not permitted in fire lanes, no parking
zones, accessible spaces (without permits), or other areas
not posted for parking. Residence halls and housing areas
are also monitored by traffic attendants and are not open
to public parking. Other special areas may be closed to
public parking at the request of, and at an additional cost
to, the sponsoring venue of the event. Failure to comply
with parking regulations and/or verbal directions by
traffic attendants when campus events are in progress may
result in issuance of parking citations, actions by Boise
Police Department, or impounding/towing of vehicle.
Valid Boise State reserve, general or special permits may
park in event fee-payment parking areas free of charge at
most events. This includes Boise State accessible permits.
Certain events may restrict parking to exclude Boise State
permits in some lots. Examples of these events are: NCAA
activities (Bowl Football Game, basketball tournaments,
National Championship Athletic Events), BAA reserved areas,
and special group activities, such as the Wally Byam Caravan.
At these times parking fees may be required of all users on
a space-available basis.
