About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot 30 is an expansive open-air surface parking facility situated at 700 E 900 N in Provo, Utah, strategically nestled directly along the southern perimeter of the Brigham Young University (BYU) campus. Designed to accommodate daily university traffic, community visitors, and seasonal event attendees, this surface lot offers a clean, straightforward layout with clearly striped stalls, broad drive aisles, and perimeter curb landscaping. Because it is a ground-level outdoor parking lot, Lot 30 features unrestricted vertical clearance, making it fully accessible not only to standard sedans, compacts, and crossovers, but also to full-size pickup trucks, large passenger SUVs, roof-rack mounted vehicles, and high-clearance camper vans.

Drivers arriving from Interstate 15 can take Exit 269 (University Parkway) and head east directly toward campus, or take Exit 265 (Center Street) and connect northward via University Avenue. The location is also well integrated into regional transit networks; the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) UVX (Utah Valley Express) bus rapid transit line runs nearby with frequent, high-capacity zero-fare service connecting directly to the Provo FrontRunner commuter rail station, Orem Central Station, and downtown Provo.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Before parking at Lot 30, always review posted signage at the lot entrance regarding specific BYU parking permit classifications and time-of-day regulations. On standard weekdays, university parking stalls generally require valid university-registered student, staff, or guest permits until late afternoon (typically 4:00 PM or 7:00 PM), after which many campus general lots open up for open parking without permit fees, unless otherwise reserved for special university events or game-day operations. For major BYU basketball games at the Marriott Center or football games at LaVell Edwards Stadium, anticipate heavy vehicular movement along 900 East and University Parkway; arriving at least 45 to 60 minutes ahead of scheduled tip-off or kickoff ensures smooth parking and a stress-free walk across campus.
