Fall assignment from LCC: Ride the bus
EUGENE, Or – Parking lots are expected to overflow again at Lane Community College main campus this fall. Main campus has about 4,200 parking spots including gravel lots added last year and restored parking from the completion of some construction projects. Last year, about 200 cars trolled for parking between the peak hours of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Parking tips—
- Ride the bus. Credit and ESL students at main campus and the Downtown Center pay a $27 transportation fee that includes the cost of the LCC Bus Pass. Information is online at 2011sitearchive.lanecc.edu/facilities/transportation/lccbuspass.html
- LTD riders should choose an early bus from downtown Eugene (0:10, 0:20 or 0:50 after the hour) and avoid the full buses (0:30 and 0:40 after the hour). The downtown Springfield station has extra capacity and parking. Park-N-Ride locations are available all over Lane County. Information is online at www.ltd.org
