Transportation and Parking


Due to the inclement weather and the announcement that The Ohio State University main campus cancelled classes today, Transportation & Parking Services will have limited services for February 16, 2010.

Transportation & Parking Services has raised the gate arms to all garages (except the SAFEAUTO Hospitals Garage and 12th Avenue Garage) today and are encouraging all staff on central campus to park in a garage rather than in a surface parking lot (regardless of the type of OSU permit that the customer has). Garage roofs, which are icy, should be avoided so we can clear the snow. Garage gates will go back down on tonight, February 17th, 2010, at 12:01am. Staff still parked inside garages will be allowed out at no fee.

All parking lots on campus have been plowed once, and crews will work to address problem areas throughout the day and evening. Due to the blowing snow, parking lots will be slippery. Customers are encouraged to use caution when driving and walking to/from the lots.

Due to the weather, CABS will have limited service today and will only be running the Campus Loop South (approximately 15 minute service) and the Med. Center Express (approximately 12 minute service). Please expect service delays throughout the day as slippery road conditions may delay buses in and around the campus area. Visit trip.osu.edu from your computer and mobile phone, or text OSUTRIP [space] [bus stop #] to 41411, using the numbers listed at CABS bus stops to receive real time bus arrival times. Customers who need the Handivan service can call 292-6202 for assistance.

Our office in 160 Bevis Hall will be CLOSED today. Many of the services provided by this office, such as permit sales, citation payments, and citation appeals, can still be obtained via our E-Services on-line site. In addition, you may use our on-line services to rent a vehicle or rent a CABS bus.
