## Columbia University Campus Parking at Low Plaza

Parking at the campus is managed through Columbia Transportation, which lists a Parking Office for permit and facility enquiries (transportation.columbia.edu). The university’s visitor information says metered and non-metered parking is available on New York City streets near the Visitors Center (visit.columbia.edu).

Columbia Transportation lists 24/7 parking facilities open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at $314.40 a month, while commuter facilities operate from 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Friday with no overnight parking at $273.75 (transportation.columbia.edu). Daily parking is extremely limited during the academic year, particularly on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays (transportation.columbia.edu).

## Nearby Street and Public Parking Around Morningside Heights

Street parking around the campus includes both metered and non-metered New York City spaces, according to Columbia’s Visitors Center (visit.columbia.edu). Those spaces can be useful for a short visit to Low Plaza, but availability depends on the surrounding Manhattan streets rather than a university-controlled lot.

For shopping-center or council-operated parking near Low Plaza, no place-specific facility or free-period rule is provided in the local results.

## Parksy Parking Spaces Near Columbia in Manhattan

Parksy lists a covered garage in Morningside Heights, 276 yd away, at $25 a day. Its short distance suits visitors making a planned campus stop and students carrying equipment or bags. A second covered garage in Morningside Heights is 0.2 mi away at $32 a day, offering another practical option for staff or visitors who prefer covered parking.

Two University Garage spaces in the Harlem area are each 0.3 mi away at $34 a day. Two 24/7 valet garage spaces are also 0.3 mi away at $21.12 an hour, making them better suited to shorter visits when hourly parking is more useful than a day rate.

## Busy Parking Periods Near the Columbia Campus

Daily parking is extremely limited during the academic year, particularly on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays (transportation.columbia.edu). Drivers visiting during term should therefore expect the greatest pressure on those weekdays, especially when a visit cannot be shifted outside regular commuter-facility hours.

University events and open days can increase demand around Low Plaza, but the local university pages supplied here do not publish specific event dates or open-day parking arrangements. The Visitors Center identifies metered and non-metered New York City street parking, so surrounding street restrictions and posted meter conditions remain relevant for visitors using curbside spaces (visit.columbia.edu).
