Parking permits from TrojanTransportation offer you a parking space in a designated lot or parking structure, regardless of the time of day you arrive on campus. You have the option of choosing a facility on campus or parking at the USC Parking Center. Even if you aren’t on campus every day, you can park in a reduced fee daily parking lot. It all depends on your schedule. The university offers permits tailored to meet your particular needs.
If you live in university housing, TrojanTransportation also has options for you. Resident permits are available from TrojanTransportation. You will be asked to present your USC student ID, a signed housing contract and proof of vehicle registration at the time you obtain your permit.
Regardless of whether you drive a car, truck, motorcycle or scooter, TrojanTransportation has a space for you. Just keep in mind that all vehicles need to have valid permits and abide by the university’s parking rules and regulations that are distributed when you are issued your permit. These regulations include speed limits, designated no parking zones, special areas set aside for motorcycle and scooter parking and general information.
You should also read the Scooter/Motorcycle Policy in the University Governance section of this guidebook. Violators are issued parking citations by officers who patrol campus throughout the day. If you receive a citation which you feel is unwarranted, you may file an appeal through the TrojanTransportation office or online at transportation.usc.edu. To avoid receiving a parking citation or having your vehicle impounded, take a few minutes to read the materials provided to you at the time you receive your permit.
University Parking Center
Tram service to the University Parking Center, located on Grand Avenue, operates Monday through Friday between 6:30 a.m. and 11 p.m. The tram picks up and drops off passengers at the parking center near the lower level lobby approximately every 15 minutes. Stops are made at six other locations.

“All those who attend night classes will find that the Trojan Owl is the publication of University College. The Owl, published weekly and distributed every monday evening…draws talent from journalism students who are partial to night life and are experts on evening school activities.”

I’ve gotten more parking tickets than I’d like to admit. As much as I wish it wasn’t the case, it’s worth your money simply to buy a parking pass if you’re regularly going to campus.
