## Parking at Virginia Commonwealth University’s Richmond Campus

VCU manages campus parking through its Parking & Transportation service, which provides permit sales and visitor parking information (parking.vcu.edu). Student commuters can purchase permits for specific campus areas, including the MCV Campus commuter permit offered through the university’s online sales system (parking.vcu.edu).

Visitor parking locations on campus charge $3 an hour, with a maximum daily rate of $17 (parking.vcu.edu). Those facilities can also be used by VCU students, so a visitor rate can be useful for a short appointment or campus visit when a permit is not needed.

## When Parking Around VCU Is Hardest

Permit demand is especially visible before the fall term, when students compete for spaces such as the MCV Campus commuter permit. Sales for that permit begin at 9 a.m. on Monday, July 13 (parking.vcu.edu). Drivers visiting during the academic year should allow extra time around student arrival and departure periods.

Parking & Transportation publishes separate information for events, visitor locations, and parking maps, making event dates a key consideration before driving to campus (parking.vcu.edu).

## Parksy Spaces Close to the VCU Campus

The closest listed option is a parking lot on West Main Street, 253 yards away, priced at $5 an hour. Its short walk suits students, staff, or visitors who need a nearby space without using a campus facility.

A secure space at Stuart Circle is 0.5 miles away and costs $7 an hour, making it a practical choice for a longer class, shift, or appointment. Two garage spaces are 0.9 miles away at $6 an hour and $6.99 an hour, respectively. The 0.9-mile garage spaces priced at $15 a day and $30 a day suit visitors or staff planning to remain for much of the day, with the lower daily price better suited to extended daytime parking.

## Other Richmond Parking Near the Campus

VCU’s visitor facilities are separate from nearby public and private parking options, so drivers can compare a campus visit with spaces around Richmond’s streets and commercial areas. The listed West Main Street lot is a nearby non-campus option, while the Stuart Circle space provides another alternative outside the university’s visitor locations.

Private garage spaces listed near the campus include the Second Presbyterian Garage area and downtown Richmond garages, all shown at 0.9 miles from the destination.

## Walking and Rail Access to VCU

Broad Street Station is the nearest listed rail station, 1.2 miles from the campus and a 25-minute walk. The station gives visitors an alternative to driving when a campus parking space is inconvenient.

The campus is at 907 Floyd Avenue, 1.2 miles from Richmond center. Drivers using a farther garage can combine parking with a walk through Richmond, while visitors arriving by rail can continue on foot from Broad Street Station.
