🚧 Important notice

Vendor and contractor permits are not valid for Boise State employees or students.

Laydown areas

For some construction projects, designated laydown areas can be assigned to support staging, material storage, or limited on-site parking.

• These areas are available at a rate of $15 per space.
• The area must be fully enclosed—typically with fencing or other secure barriers.
• Vehicles parked entirely within the designated area do not need a Boise State parking permit.
• Vehicles outside of the approved enclosure must follow standard parking and permit requirements.

Containment equipment:

• Contractors are responsible for supplying their own fencing or barriers.
• Boise State can provide equipment upon request, but availability is limited and provided on a case-by-case basis.
• Additional charges apply for university-provided equipment, which may not always meet specific project needs.

If a laydown area is needed, be sure to include that and any applicable details on the Access and Maintenance Request Form

Campus safety expectations

• Follow all posted signs and parking regulations
• Observe campus speed limits and traffic rules
• Be respectful and courteous to the campus community

Noncompliance may result in citations or revoked access.
