Parking Regulations

WELCOME TO GRAND VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY

This brochure is designed to provide you with information regarding traffic ordinances and parking at GVSU.  Students do not need a vehicle to attend GVSU.  As an option to parking a vehicle on the Allendale and/or Pew Grand Rapids campus, Grand Valley provides a number of free transportation alternatives.

These services are free to students, faculty and staff that present a valid GVSU ID.  Please log on to www.gvsu.edu/bus for the current bus/shuttle schedules.  Direct any questions about bus transportation to the Pew Campus Operations office at (616) 331-6700.

Students who choose to park on the Allendale and/or the Pew Grand Rapids campus are required to display a parking permit.  In the event you forget to switch your permit to the vehicle you are driving to campus, you must obtain a temporary parking pert from the Department of Public Safety or Pew Security.  Twenty days of temporary permits are available per academic year at any time and at no cost.  The alternative to not having a permits to park/pay at the the meters.
