## Parking on the University of Ottawa Campus

The campus uses the HotSpot app and mobile tap payments for daily parking by non-permit holders, giving visitors a way to pay from their car (uottawa.ca). The University provides parking maps for the Main Campus, 200 Lees and RGN/Alta Vista locations (uottawa.ca).

Monday to Friday parking is $5.50 an hour, with a $17.50 daily maximum, while another Monday to Friday option has no daily maximum at $5.50 an hour (uottawa.ca). After 3:00PM, weekends and holidays are charged at $5.50 an hour (uottawa.ca).

Student permits are currently fully allocated and sold out because of demand (uottawa.ca). Drivers needing a short campus visit should therefore use the daily-payment options rather than relying on a student permit.

## Parksy Parking Spaces Around 75 Laurier Avenue East

A secure parking garage at 5 Daly Avenue is 600 m from the campus and costs $19.08 an hour, making it a practical choice for a visitor who wants a nearby covered facility. Rideau Centre parking is also a garage 600 m away, priced at $6 an hour, and suits visitors combining a university appointment with time in the shopping district.

Two secure covered garage spaces are 620 m away and cost $3 an hour each. Their lower hourly price makes them useful for students attending a class or staff staying for part of the day. A secure monthly garage space at 195 Besserer Street is 620 m away and costs $190 a month, which better fits staff or students who park regularly.

Secure Peace Tower parking is 650 m away at $19.08 an hour. Its location and hourly price make it more suited to occasional visitors than to daily campus commuters.

## Busy Periods and Street Restrictions Near the Campus

Parking demand is especially difficult for students because all available student permits are sold out, according to the University’s permit page (uottawa.ca). The campus also publishes separate parking information for daily parking, permits and its Main Campus, 200 Lees and RGN/Alta Vista facilities (uottawa.ca).

Weekday daytime demand is likely to be strongest around teaching activity, while after 3:00PM, weekends and holidays use a separate campus rate period of $5.50 an hour (uottawa.ca).

Drivers using surrounding streets should follow posted parking controls and avoid treating campus permit areas as general visitor parking. The University’s daily-payment and permit pages distinguish between non-permit parking, exterior-lot day permits and garage permits (uottawa.ca).

## Rideau Centre and Other Nearby Parking Choices

Rideau Centre parking provides a nearby garage alternative to the University’s own facilities. The garage is 600 m from campus and costs $6 an hour, making it a useful option for visitors who need central parking or want to combine a university visit with shopping.

The University’s official parking information also identifies 200 Lees and RGN/Alta Vista as separate parking locations, alongside the Main Campus (uottawa.ca). These sites are part of the campus parking network rather than the Parksy spaces around 75 Laurier Avenue East, so their suitability depends on the destination within the University.

For a lower-cost nearby alternative, two secure covered garage spaces 620 m away cost $3 an hour. The 195 Besserer Street secure monthly garage space is the better fit for regular parking at $190 a month, while the Rideau Centre garage is more flexible for shorter visitor stays.

## Walking and Rail Access to the University of Ottawa

The University is at 75 Laurier Avenue East in Ottawa, Ontario, and sits 360 m from Ottawa centre. The central location makes walking a practical part of a trip, particularly when nearby parking is busy or a driver is visiting for a short appointment.

Drivers using Parksy spaces should allow for a walk from the listed parking location to campus: the closest listed spaces are 600 m away, followed by options at 620 m and 650 m. A 600 m walk is roughly a short urban walk, while the 650 m Peace Tower option adds only a little distance but is priced for occasional use at $19.08 an hour.

The surrounding central setting also makes the University suitable for a park-and-walk journey from nearby rail or transit connections. Parking farther from 75 Laurier Avenue East can be worthwhile when the destination is on campus for several hours, especially where the hourly rate is lower.
