Each winter, we prepare in advance to help ensure your parking experience remains safe and reliable, regardless of the weather. Facilities Operations and Development (FOD), Transportation and Traffic Management (TTM), the Department of Public Safety, and CampusParc collaborate to provide services during the winter months, ensuring your safety.
Each winter, we work diligently to ensure that your parking experience is as safe and satisfactory as possible during winter weather conditions. As the safety of our customers is our top priority, we take snow and ice removal very seriously and make plans well in advance of each storm to ensure conditions in our facilities are as safe as possible. When traveling during the winter season, be sure to allow extra time and dress appropriately for the weather.

Garage rooftops
Winter brings with it the occasional need to close garage rooftops due to snow and or ice accumulation. The amount of precipitation and the outdoor temperature contribute to the decision to close rooftops. Due to their exposure to the elements, rooftops cool faster and remain frozen longer than surface lots or campus roadways, which makes them more susceptible to hazardous conditions.
Please take extra caution when driving and walking through all levels of the garages. Our top priority is the safety of our customers. We appreciate your understanding and urge drivers to heed garage rooftop closure notices.
During rooftop closures, overnight parking rules will be relaxed, allowing parking on the lower covered levels.
Use discretion when parking
If snow or slush makes it challenging to see parking lines, please use your best judgment. Avoid parking in a way that may block other vehicles, limit access through drive lanes, or reduce visibility for others.
If you notice a snowy or icy area within surface lots and garages that requires attention, please notify us by calling Customer Care at 614-688-0000 or emailing osuinfo@campusparc.com. Feedback regarding other areas on university property, such as roadways or sidewalks, should be directed to Facilities Operations and Development.
