Parking Operations

Under Colorado State statute, our university's parking program must be self-sustaining. Parking Lot Operations does not receive funding from taxes or tuition. Instead, all parking-related expenses are covered by revenue from permit sales and citation fees. These funds support a range of costs, including new construction, maintenance of parking lots, roads, signage, enforcement, and overall parking operations.

Parking on campus is monitored through a virtual permit system that scans your license plate. All vehicles parked on campus must have a valid CSU Pueblo parking permit. 

All visitors to campus must obtain a parking permit Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 5:00 pm. Permits are available in the Parking Office located in the Administration building, room 118 from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm. 

STUDENTS AND VISITORS MUST PARK IN WHITE LINED PARKING SPACES

**If you are an invited guest to campus, please ensure your University Contact obtains a parking permit prior to your arrival. This can be done by supplying your University Contact with your name, contact number, vehicle license plate number, and vehicle information. 

Student Permits are sold online, 24/7, at The Permit Store. 

Resident Permits are available to students living in campus housing. This permit allows you to park in designated housing parking lots and student parking spots across campus.  Resident Permits do not allow students to park at the Walking Stick Apartments.  University Village at Walking Stick Apartment Residents receive parking lot-specific permits. Only apartment residents are permitted to park in University Village at Walking Stick Apartment parking lots.  This includes the lot closest to the Greenhorn Resident Hall.

Faculty and Staff Permits can be obtained from the Campus Safety/Parking office, located on the first floor of the Administration building, Room 118(Maps). 

Employee parking spaces are designated with Green lines. 

Reserved Parking Permits can be purchased for an additional cost by University Employees only.  These parking spaces are designated with signs and/or YELLOW lines.

Bike and Scooter Parking on Campus

CSU Pueblo encourages the use of bicycles, e-bikes, and scooters as convenient and sustainable transportation options. To help maintain a safe and accessible campus, all bicycles and scooters must be parked in designated bike/scooter racks or other approved parking areas.

Please do not park or lock bikes or scooters to trees, railings, fences, light poles, signs, building entrances, sidewalks, ramps, fire lanes, or other locations that may obstruct pedestrian or emergency access. Devices should be secured with an appropriate lock when parked.

Bikes and scooters must not be stored inside campus buildings unless the area has been specifically designated for bicycle or scooter storage. Improperly parked equipment may be removed.

Please help keep campus walkways, entrances, and accessible routes clear by using designated bike and scooter parking areas.
