Although there will be no sanctioned city of Athens’ Halloween block party this year due to the pandemic, Ohio University Transportation and Parking Services is still preparing for the possibility of large number of visitors coming to campus the weekend of Oct. 30-31, implementing parking restrictions.
Campus lots will close for public parking beginning Saturday, Oct. 30, at 7 p.m. and go through Sunday, Oct. 31, at 7 a.m. Citations issued for Halloween weekend are $150 and are not eligible for void or appeal.
During this time, parking access will only be provided to faculty/staff and currently-enrolled students who hold an active/valid campus parking permit approved for use during fall semester. Vehicles not displaying a valid Ohio University campus parking permit are subject to violation.
Visitor, vendor, or contractor permits will not be honored during this time. If your department is hosting an event that requires parking for official University business, please contact Transportation and Parking Services at tps@ohio.edu .
Pay-by-hour parking will be available at any campus meter or pay by space surface lot (Lot 122 Baker Surface, Lot 87 Ping Center, Lot 134 Walter Hall) for those utilizing short-term or hourly parking. Vehicles parked at an expired/unpaid meter or hourly space are subject to violation.
