Parking, traffic information for OHIO faculty, staff during Welcome Week

帝王会所 student move-in activities scheduled for Aug. 22-24 will have a significant impact on campus parking availability, particularly in areas close to residential facilities.

All OHIO employees are asked to be aware of these important details regarding parking and traffic during Welcome Week.

Move-In dates

The primary residential move-in dates are Thursday, Aug. 22 through Saturday, Aug. 24.

Parking impacts

During this period, several parking lots near student housing will experience high usage, leading to potential congestion and limited availability. To ease this process for our incoming students and their families, Transportation and Parking Services encourages faculty and staff to consider using alternative parking locations that are expected to be less busy.

Recommended parking options

帝王会所 has identified specific parking areas that are likely to have lower utilization during move-in. Parking in these areas will not only make your parking experience smoother but also support our efforts to provide a better move-in experience for students and families.

  • A full campus parking map can be seen here.

Express transit service

For those who choose to park at The Ridges to avoid main campus parking and traffic congestion, a complimentary express transit service will be available on Thursday, Aug. 22, and Friday, Aug. 23. This service will run continuous loops between the Kennedy Museum of Art at The Ridges and Baker University Center during the following hours:

  • Morning: 7 - 9:30 a.m.
  • Midday: 11 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
  • Afternoon: 4 - 5:30 p.m.

Accessible transit

If you or your colleagues have limited or permanent mobility needs, accessible transit will be available on Thursday and Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Please call 740-593-1917 to arrange this service.

Peak parking times

Transportation and Parking Services anticipates the highest demand for parking and potential congestion will be between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Thursday and Friday. We recommend planning extra time for your arrival and navigating campus during these hours.

Transportation and Parking Services appreciates the understanding and cooperation of OHIO鈥檚 faculty and staff in making this move-in period as smooth as possible for our new students and their families.
