Students 2009-2010 BG Permit Allocations Change

Instructions for B Garage Permit Requests

This year there have been some changes to the garage groupings, so please review the information below before making your request to ensure you get the permit that will best meet your needs. Some of the changes that prompted the grouping adjustments include:

  • The new 9th Avenue East garage will be open to BG2 permits as of September 1.
  • South Cannon Garage Remains Open For 2009-2010: Revisions to the Project One Medical Center Construction Initiatives have delayed the closure of the South Cannon Garage indefinitely. Information will be posted as details become available.
  • Neil Avenue Garage will not be included with any of the BG permits. Limited hourly parking will be available in this garage in an attempt to help accommodate hourly parkers who are currently using 12th Avenue Garage but are not Patients and Visitors of the medical center and reduce the daily overcrowding of the 12th Avenue garage.
  • The Lane Avenue garage will open to BG1 permits in January 2010.

2009-2010 Permit Allocations:

  • "BG1" permits will have access to Northwest, Tuttle, Arps, and Lane Ave. Garages. (Lane Ave. Garage opens in 2010.)
  • "BG2" permits will have access to 9th Ave. West, 9th Ave. East, and South Cannon Garages. (South Cannon Garage will close December 2009.)
  • "BG3" permits will have access to Ohio Union North and 11th Ave. Garage.

Please view the 2009-2010 BG Garage Permit Allocation Map for details on how garage permit allocations have changed.

As you may recall, BG permit requests are accepted between July 1 and July 31 annually. Requests are filled during the first few days of August based upon Seniority with OSU.

Approved Requests

If your request can be filled, you will receive an e-mail from our department the first week of August confirming the allocation and providing instructions for you to log back in to our on line services and complete the sale. At this time you will elect payment method (payroll deduct or credit card). It is very important that you log back in and complete the sale by Wednesday, August 19th, or the permit could be allocated to someone else when unclaimed permits are opened up to waitlisted customers on Thursday, August 20th.

Denied Requests

If your request is unable to be filled (we unfortunately do have more requests than spaces available), you will be required to select another permit.

Submitting Your Request

To log in to T&P’s On Line Services, go to http://tp.osu.edu/eservices/facultystaffpermits.shtml. Clicking on the red "Purchase a Parking Permit" button at the bottom of the page will take you to the Office of Information Technology's authentication page. Enter your OSU Internet username (example smith.1) and the password you use to check OSU e-mail. This will then take you to your T&P account page and provide instructions to complete the registration process.

If you have not activated your name.#@osu.edu e-mail, you will be unable to use T&P's on line services as the University authentication process requires this e-mail to be active.
