Parking at Arizona State University Mercado
The campus is at 542 East Monroe Street in downtown Phoenix, and ASU says permits are always required on campus except during university holidays, excluding semester and summer break (cfo.asu.edu). ASU’s daily and hourly parking information lists a garage rate of $4 for 1 hour or less, with a maximum rate of $16 (cfo.asu.edu).
The university’s downtown parking guidance lists Second Avenue and Fourth Avenue lots as available Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. (cfo.asu.edu). The same guidance identifies an East garage for students, priced at $660, with opening information listed for Monday through Friday from 6 (cfo.asu.edu). Visitor parking is therefore best planned around ASU’s daily and hourly facilities rather than residence hall lots, reserved stalls, or other restricted locations requiring special permits (cfo.asu.edu).
The Busiest Times Around the Mercado Campus
Parking pressure is strongest during semester periods because ASU requires permits on campus during those periods, while the holiday exception excludes semester and summer break (cfo.asu.edu). Students and staff arriving for weekday classes should expect the most competition around the campus’s Monday through Friday operating window, particularly before the Second Avenue and Fourth Avenue lots close at 8 p.m. (cfo.asu.edu).
ASU also lists university holidays as an exception to its permit requirement, but specifically excludes semester and summer break from that exception (cfo.asu.edu). Vehicles cannot use residence hall lots, reserved stalls, or other restricted locations where special permits are required (cfo.asu.edu).
