ASU offers a variety of parking and permit options to support the different types of commuters coming onto ASU campuses. Sustainable commuter groups may purchase a High Occupancy Vehicle | HOV permit with special benefits and rewards.
Permits do not reserve a parking spot but allow for parking in a specific location. Parking permit prices are based on the facility's proximity to campus destinations. Each campus offers tiered permit rates that range in price.
ASU transit passes make commuting more affordable and sustainable. Students can purchase a U-Pass and employees can buy the Platinum Pass for unlimited rides on Valley Metro Light Rail and eligible bus routes.

During enforcement times, no one may drive, park or ride wheeled vehicles in Walk-only zones.
