Parking Fees & Fines
Lewis & Clark’s Board of Trustees approves a schedule of parking fees each year as part of the budget process.
When purchasing a parking pass, students must pay for their parking permits in full via credit/debit card, check or cash. Employees may purchase only semester/annual parking permits by authorizing monthly payroll deductions or paying in full at time of purchase. Employees may not purchase daily permits using the payroll deduction option.
Bus pass purchases may be made online or in person at the Transportation & Parking office located in Facilities Services (building 47 on the campus map) or at Law School Business Services for Law School students. Bus passes may also be purchased and picked up at Campus Safety.
Semester/annual parking permits may be returned for a refund of the unused portion of the semester. Monthly bus passes are not refundable nor can they be replaced, if lost.
Please note: Students, Faculty, and Staff not purchasing a semester/annual pass must purchase (at no charge) a Vehicle Registration.

Parking Violations and Citation Fees
Parking violation types and citations fees are outlined in the table below. Citations may be presented to the owner/operator in person or placed on the windshield. Each person cited will receive email reminders that the citation remains unpaid. Pay citations at the Transportation & Parking online portal.
Parking fines for the same violation incurred within a term increase for each successive violation. Parking violation fines are automatically charged to College accounts of Lewis & Clark students, faculty, and staff. Charges are reversed if an appeal of the violation notice is granted.
