Parking and Transportation Services

Rules and regulations governing parking are in effect 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, 12 months a year unless otherwise specified.

Permit holders may be asked not to park in the BSU lots when events are scheduled.

Special permits allow accommodation of persons in situations that do not fit readily into usual categories. A complete and accurate license plate number must be given and all outstanding obligations to Parking Services paid to obtain any special parking permit. Special permits must be filled out completely to be valid. It is the responsibility of the departments arranging for special parking permits to educate the visitor as to where a permit is valid. Boise State University students, faculty and staff members are responsible for advising their visitors of parking rules and regulations. Special Permit owners must comply with University traffic and parking regulations and are responsible for such compliance by users of those vehicles. Vehicles displaying special parking permits found in violation of parking regulations will be ticketed, and the permit holder will be obligated to pay all fines incurred. Misuse of any special parking permit by students, faculty, staff or campus visitors will result in the permit being voided, vehicle being ticketed and/or towed away, and/or parking privileges of the permit holder being revoked.
