Contractor/Vendor Parking Options

Outside Vendor/Contractor Parking

On-campus parking—except in mobile payment/pay station lots and most time-zone areas—is by permit only Monday - Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. throughout the calendar year. Some areas have special evening and weekend restrictions. In addition, some parking restrictions, such as those in residence hall parking lots and other designated areas, are in effect seven days a week, around the clock.

Getting Started

All vendors, construction workers, delivery drivers, and contractors must have a permit to legally park or deliver on Cornell University grounds. Cornell Faculty, Staff, Students, and Affiliates are exempt. Compliance with campus parking regulations and permit restrictions is mandatory. A permit or parking pay station/mobile payment is required. Annual permits are issued on a first-come, first-served, space-available basis, with limited sales. Vehicle logos won’t be honored as permits. Tractor trailers don’t require permits but may face restrictions. Call 607-255-4600 for assistance.

Permit Options

In addition to the various permit types available to employees, vendors may purchase parking permits that grant short-term or long-term parking privileges, contingent upon their business requirements. Please note that permit options may be subject to change. For the most up-to-date information, including current options, availability, and pricing, kindly contact 607-255-4600.
