Who We Are, What We Do:
The Department of Parking, Transportation, and Visitor Center is part of WSU Business and Finance. The University Parking and Transportation Task Force provides an open review process, available to all campus groups, to deal with issues relating to parking and transportation. The Transit Advisory Group is a sub-group of the University Parking and Transportation Task Force and was formed in order to review the effectiveness of current transit services, review proposed changes or additions to future transit services, review financial plans that support transit services, and to solicit and evaluate feedback from various stakeholder and constituent groups.
Parking on the Pullman campus is governed by the Washington Administrative Code, follow this link to see the Parking Rules. The state of Washington has mandated that parking at its colleges and universities will be "self supporting." Your parking fee is a "user" fee which enables WSU to build new parking facilities and maintain existing ones. Without these fees, we would not be able to provide adequate parking facilities.
If you have a comment or question about parking and transportation issues on campus, please don't hesitate to contact us.
