PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

Parking Information

All individuals wishing to park a vehicle on the Towson University property must abide by the established university parking regulations and state motor vehicle regulations.

Detailed Parking Information For Specific Campus Groups

Permits

Vehicles parked on campus must display a valid permit or be parked at a paid meter from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday. Permits are not required in most locations from 3 p.m. Friday to 6 a.m. Monday or when the university is officially closed for a holiday or inclement weather. 

Overnight Parking

 

To ensure ample commuter parking during the week, overnight parking is prohibited on the core campus Monday through Thursday. The only exception is for individuals who are parked in a resident lot with the appropriate permit.  Those wishing to park overnight during the week may use Towson Center lots 13, 14, 19, or 21.

Overnight parking is permitted in commuter and faculty/staff lots on weekends (after 3 p.m. Friday through 6 a.m. Monday).

Parking Lot Designations and Reserved Spaces

Reserved spaces and restricted lots are enforced at all times. Information about lot restrictions is posted at lots and reserved spaces. The posted information takes priority over printed information and the use of gates.

During peak periods (Monday – Thursday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.), convenient parking on the core campus may be limited.  During this time, students who have valid on campus permits are encouraged to proceed directly to the Overflow parking areas at the Towson Center/Stadium (lots 13, 14, 19, and 21) and in the West Village Garage (part of level 2, all of level 3).  Shuttle service is available between the Overflow areas and the core campus.

Enforcement

To ensure the availability of safe parking and the efficient use of the parking resources, regulations are enforced year round. The university has been granted the authority under the Maryland Uniform Citation Code to issue citations on the campus. University citations carry the weight and importance of citations issued by any law enforcement agency in the state of Maryland. Individuals who have outstanding citations may be subject to university sanctions, referral to the State Central Collections Unit (CCU) or administrative holds and fees with the Motor Vehicle Administration.
