Event Considerations

Here are some important things to have ready before planning your event parking with CSU Transportation Services:

  • Determine if you intend to cover the cost of parking for the attendees.
    • Please note that university fiscal rules do not allow department funds to be used to pay for parking for CSU affiliates, including faculty, staff and students.
  • Consider the location of your event. Some areas of campus may not have available parking for event attendees.
  • If you are bringing buses on to campus, there are approved locations for drop-off, pick-up and parking for the buses.
  • For on-site or off-site transportation, Fleet Services, 970-491-0016, can assist with reserving vehicles.
  • Please contact Stephanie Zakis with any additional questions.
