Metered Parking Around Campus
"Pay-By-Space" Multi-Space Pay Stations Information and Instructions
Parking and Transportation Services has setup parking meters around campus capable of managing multiple spaces. The meters, in line with The President's Sustainability Action Plan, are solar powered and will allow for a reduction manned patrols reducing Parking and Transportation services overall carbon footprint. The pay stations not only enhance the campus landscape through a reduction in the number of single-space meters but will provide visitors and Clemson University permit holders (CUPH) with a smart, cost-efficient parking solution that is more sustainable, reliable and convenient.

Metered Spot Locations:

Each of the metered lots has signage that identifies the metered spaces as well as the location of the meter. Look for the white “P” on the side of a pay station and the black, bronze and white “Pay Meter Here” signs. These regulatory signs specify the hours of operation, meter limits, and directions on how to pay the multi-space pay station
