UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Transportation Services has announced the launch of a real-time, parking-deck capacity tracking website.

This website will provide information for visitors and non-deck permit holders about the availability of visitor parking at the East, HUB, Nittany and West decks. This can be referenced before parkers arrive on campus, to avoid being turned away if a deck’s visitor parking is at capacity and help to improve their overall campus arrival experience.

The capacity summaries will not apply to permit holders assigned to any of the parking decks, as Transportation Services holds spaces when the decks are closed to other parkers to ensure that permit holders are able to park at their assigned location.

Usage Key

The information provided below shows users how to interpret the symbols used on the website:

  • Green Smiley Face/Good Parking Availability – This means that the deck has plenty of parking available.
  • Yellow Straight-Line Face/Fair Parking Availability – This means that the deck is nearing capacity and there may only be a few spots available.
  • Red Frowny Face/Poor Parking Availability – This means the deck is full and only available to assigned permit holders and those with a valid ADA parking placard.

For questions, please contact Transportation Services at 814-865-1436 or email parking@psu.edu.
