<p>Hi, I'm planning on going to USC in the Fall and I have decided to bring a car with me. I checked out the Trojan Transportation website, but I got confused as to which parking lot I should apply to. Commuter Gold, Cardinal, Carpool, Evening & Parking Center, USC North Housing Campus??</p>
<p>Does anyone have any tips on parking? Thanks! :)</p>
<p>Students living on campus or commuting can buy-
-Gold (all on-campus lots including PS1 and PS2),
-Carpool,
-Evening, or
-Parking Center (the large parking lot farthest away on the other side of the 110 freeway). </p>
<p>Cardinal pass is basically for employees (child care).</p>
<p>After you get your housing assignment, look at the map and find the lot closest to you to buy a Gold pass to that lot. (For example, if you are in New/North, you probably want PSX or PSD). If you want to save money and you don't mind parking a little farther, buy a pass for the Parking Center.</p>
<p>You can go online to register ahead of time so you can see your choices based on your status. You can register without making a commitment.
USC</a> Auxiliary Services | Transportation | Permit Information</p>
<p>The lottery is for off-campus USC owned housing. When you register, there will be an option for this if you are in that kind of housing.</p>
