Park and Ride has opened its lots to all KU parking permits officially beginning in August.
Parking Department officials said accepting any permit will encourage students to utilize the lot and help decrease congestion on main campus.
Campus parking is becoming increasingly difficult for students, especially with construction on lots 91 and 94 near Memorial Stadium, said Danny Kaiser, assistant director for the parking department.
He said opening the Park and Ride lots is a viable alternative for students and faculty having trouble finding open parking spaces.
“You don’t have to hunt for a place to park,” Kaiser said. “You can park immediately and hop on a bus to go to campus.”
Kaiser said Park-and-Ride lots hold 1,400 spaces. The parking department has sold only 900 Park-and-Ride permits this year.
Park and Ride permits are still available for purchase. They cost $205 and include a KU on Wheels bus pass. Kaiser said when the Park and Ride permits begin to sell out, the lots will return to only accepting Park and Ride permits.
Students and faculty must have a KU parking permit to park in the Park and Ride lots or they can park in the meters, Kaiser said. He said violators will be ticketed.
