Parking at uOttawa Station
uOttawa station is located at the University of Ottawa, next to the Rideau Canal (octranspo.com). The station itself is a light-rail stop rather than a separately advertised public car park, so drivers should distinguish the station entrance from university parking areas on the surrounding campus.
University of Ottawa parking maps cover the Main Campus, 200 Lees and RGN/Alta Vista locations (uottawa.ca). Daily parking at university locations can be paid with credit or debit cards, mobile tap payments, or the HotSpot app (uottawa.ca). The station address is 301 Nicholas Street in Sandy Hill, making Nicholas Street the useful destination point for drivers approaching the campus.
Commuter Parking and Permits Near the Station
University of Ottawa day permits cover parking from 7 a.m. until 11 p.m. daily, and for 24 hours on weekends and statutory holidays (uottawa.ca). Permits are lot-specific, so a permit for one university lot does not provide a general licence for every campus space.
Daily parking stations accept credit or debit cards and mobile tap payments, while the HotSpot app allows daily parking payment from the car and provides time reminders (uottawa.ca). The permit information gives commuters a defined daytime window, while the app-based option suits drivers who need to pay for a daily stay without arranging a longer permit.

The nearest priced Parksy option is a 24/7 monthly parking space 560 m away, available at $15 a day. A space at Deacon Brodies Pub is 660 m away and costs $12.99 a day, while parking at Rideau Inn in Ottawa's K2P area is 670 m away at $12.99 a day.

Street Parking Around Nicholas Street and Sandy Hill
Street parking around the campus should be treated separately from university-operated parking. The university publishes parking maps for the Main Campus, 200 Lees and RGN/Alta Vista areas, and its permit information states that permits are lot-specific (uottawa.ca). Those details matter for drivers considering a university-controlled space rather than a public Parksy booking.
(traffic.ottawa.ca). That rule applies to the Park & Ride facility, not automatically to curbside spaces around Nicholas Street, so drivers should use the signed restriction for the particular street space rather than treating a Park & Ride permit rule as a campus street-parking rule.
