Parking

<p>I'm trying to register for the parking lottery and I can't seem to find the locations on the map. For that matter, I'm having a hard time figuring the parking website out. Anyone have some experience in this field? Thank you.</p>

<p>Another try-bump!</p>

<p>Yeah, sorry the website isn’t very helpful.</p>

<p>Go to [USC</a> Maps](<a href=“http://web-app.usc.edu/maps/]USC”>http://web-app.usc.edu/maps/) and search for “parking” and you’ll see where all the lots & structures are.
If you want to live on the Northside (New/North/Birnkrant), I’d recommend PSD, PSX, or PS2.
If you want to live on the Southside (Marks/Pardee/Trojan), I’d recommend PSX, PS2, or maybe PSO or PSD.
If you want to live in the Parkside area, I’d recommend PSA.
If you want to live in Webb/Fluor, I’d recommend PSB.</p>

<p>There’s also the Parking Center on the other side of the 110. There’s a tram that runs from campus to there and back pretty regularly.</p>

<p>I live in Parkside and I’m in PS2, so it’s not super convenient, but it’s fine. It’s a safe walk, so I appreciate that, and I can get a Campus Cruiser there or back if I need to.</p>

<p>Thank you! Part of my issue was that the application kept trying to offer me “Parking Lot 32,” which I still can’t find on the map. But this is very helpful. :slight_smile: Thanks!</p>

<p>According to this map: <a href=“http://www.usc.edu/fms/documents/ConstructionProjectsMap.pdf[/url]”>http://www.usc.edu/fms/documents/ConstructionProjectsMap.pdf&lt;/a&gt; parking lot 32 is at the intersection of Shrine & 32nd, so not on campus. If you plan on living on campus, I wouldn’t recommend that lot.</p>

<p>Makes sense. Thank you for all of your assistance!
Also, another question: why aren’t all of the parking lots listed on my list of options for the lottery?</p>

<p>That I don’t know, I personally haven’t even looked at parking for next year! Hopefully I can get a spot at my sorority… Maybe they’re full? Or maybe it thinks that you’re looking for this term? I don’t know, I’m not a huge fan of that website.</p>

<p>I’m tempted to just call tomorrow. I only started looking because I thought it might be like housing: the earlier you start, the more likely you are to get what you want. But thanks for all of your advice.</p>

<p>Parking lottery doesn’t open until May, FYI!</p>

<p>See here: [USC</a> Auxiliary Services | Transportation | Permit Information](<a href=“http://transnet.usc.edu/guest_services/issuance.aspx]USC”>http://transnet.usc.edu/guest_services/issuance.aspx)</p>

<p>Psh, ok. So I don’t even have to register until May 1? </p>

<p>No wonder they were only offering a few lots…</p>

<p>Thanks for that!</p>

<p>Yeah, I only just found that out when I tried to get grad school parking. (Because the grad admissions packet said REGISTER FOR PARKING NOW. Um, right guys. Nice try.)</p>

<p>Haha. RIGHT NOW! :)</p>
