Important Information

  • Permit parking in parking garages are located on the upper levels past the second entrance gate (unless a lower level parking permit is purchased). 
  • An access card must be purchased for an initial $20 fee and used each time a customer enters/exits the garage, even if the gates are up. Customers who have an upper level permit are required to use the access card at two entrance gates and two exit gates. Any deviation from this sequence will result in an out-of-sequence error, causing the access card to not work. A $25.00 fee may be assessed for resetting the permit. 
  • Customers are responsible for damaged, lost or stolen access cards/permits. A new proximity permit card costs $20 and a new paper permit costs $25.
  • The City of East Lansing is not responsible for any vehicle damage or theft while on City property. It is advised that you keep valuables out of sight and vehicles securely locked.
