Parking and Transportation Services

Metered Parking

Parking and Transportation Services has set up parking meters around campus capable of managing multiple spaces. Visitors and CU permit holders (CUPH) must pay to park in designated multi-space metered areas.

The meters, in line with The President's Sustainability Action Plan, are solar powered and will allow for a reduction in manned vehicle patrols, therefore 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 also provide visitors and Clemson University permit holders (CUPH) with a smart, sustainable and cost-efficient parking solution.

Metered Parking Map

Metered parking areas have signs identifying the metered spaces and the location of the multispace meter pay station. Look for the white “P” on the side of the 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 at the multispace pay station.
