Parking on Cornell's Campus:

Visitors driving to Cornell may park in any metered area on campus or may buy visitor permits valid for one day at any parking and information booth or at the Transportation Office. Visitor permits can be purchased at the traffic booths upon entering campus. A visitor staying at the Statler Inn on campus may be issued a parking permit that allows parking in Visitor Areas. Maps are also available at the booths. Park as close to Ives Hall as permitted or ask at your place of lodging to shuttle you to the Conference Center, which will be much more convenient because parking on campus is limited.

Many parking spaces on campus are reserved for persons with disabilities and are clearly posted for restricted hours, license plate numbers of authorized vehicles, and other conditions of use. In addition, general spaces designated for the disabled are provided campus-wide. Any vehicle with a current university handicap parking permit or current visitor permit accompanied by a handicap designation (placard or license plate) may park in these spaces.

When you visit Cornell, take time to explore the gorges, lakes, trails, gardens, and museums on Cornell's beautiful 3,000 acre campus, considered the most beautiful campus in the Ivy League.
