Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a seamless experience, we recommend arriving at least 45-60 minutes early during high-traffic academic days or home sports games, as demand in the University Hill area can surge rapidly. Always ensure your payment method is registered if using mobile applications, and double-check signage for any time-of-day restrictions or permit-only zones. Using GPS navigation like Google Maps or Waze is highly recommended, as Forman Avenue can become congested during peak university rush hours.
