## Parking at Eastern Washington University in Cheney

Parking & Transportation Services manages the campus parking program, with permitted lots shown through the university’s parking map (inside.ewu.edu/parking). Drivers visiting the campus can use Lot P1B, take an immediate right into the lot, park in front of a “Visitor” sign, and obtain a [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) permit inside the Visitor Center (ewu.edu).

The university’s commuting information identifies 1,150 free parking stalls in Lot P12 and describes EWU as the only institution in the region to offer free parking (ewu.edu). Students, staff, and visitors should match their parking choice to the applicable permit or visitor arrangement before leaving the vehicle, because the campus lots are organized around permitted parking.

## Nearby Parking Away From the EWU Campus Lots

Drivers looking beyond the university’s own lots can use nearby Cheney parking options listed around the campus area, including a shopping-centre car park and council-operated parking. These spaces provide an alternative for visitors who do not want to enter the campus parking system, while students and staff may find them useful when campus spaces are busy.

Local parking rules apply separately from EWU permits, including any free-period arrangements displayed at the shopping center or council car park. The nearby public options are best treated as distinct from Lot P1B and Lot P12, so a driver using them should follow the conditions posted at the chosen entrance and payment area.

## Busy Periods and Street Restrictions Around EWU

Parking pressure is highest during university term times, when students and staff are arriving together and campus demand rises across the permitted lots. Open days and other university events can create an additional surge as prospective students, families, employees, and visitors arrive at the same time.

Street restrictions and posted controls govern spaces outside the university lots, while EWU’s parking information directs drivers to permitted parking areas and the visitor process (inside.ewu.edu/parking).

## Walking and Transit Access From Cheney and Spokane

The campus is at 500 Quad Lane in Cheney, near Spokane, 13.7 miles from Spokane center. Spokane Transit Authority service is highlighted by EWU’s Parking & Transportation Services information, giving students and staff a public-transport option alongside driving (inside.ewu.edu/parking).

Drivers coming from Spokane can combine a regional trip with a walk from a nearby Parksy space, while visitors using the university’s visitor process can go directly to Lot P1B and the Visitor Center. The campus location in Cheney makes the local parking options more suitable for a final short walk than for treating downtown Spokane as the parking destination.
