1.3.  All OSU employees and students who would be in a position of allocating revenue or expenses for the purposes of accounting for activities pertaining to university business related to parking permit sales or fines should be informed and understand this rule.

2.  General Parking Requirements

2.1.  Parking Permits

2.1.1.  Parking permits are required on OSU’s Corvallis and Cascades campuses.  Specific information about permit types can be found on the Transportation Services website.

2.1.2.  In general, university funds may not be used to purchase parking permits for personally owned automobiles of employees.

2.1.3.  University funds may be used for the following when supported by appropriate documentation and used in compliance with OSU and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Travel Policy guidelines:

a)  Visitor permits for personally-owned automobiles of employees whose primary work location is not on or near either the Corvallis or Cascades campus.  This is applicable when an employee is visiting one of these campuses to conduct university business on a temporary and infrequent basis.

b)  Parking permits eligible for purchase with university funds as described on the Transportation Services website.

c)  When an OSU-managed construction project temporarily displaces building occupants to an area of campus remote from their primary work location, construction project funds may be used to pay exchange fees and additional parking permit fees if needed to acquire a different parking permit closer to the temporary location for the duration or the project or the employee’s existing permit, whichever is shorter, as permit supplies allow and at the discretion of University Facilities Infrastructure and Operations.  This provision only applies to impacted people who had parking permits prior to the beginning of construction.
