Transportation Options for Getting Off Campus

Guest Columnist: Joey Zayas

Hello students!


The Transportation & Parking Office spent this summer focused on upgrading Lewis & Clark’s parking portal software. The new software, which is set to launch in the coming days, will provide a much better user experience for our L&C community. Some of the positive changes will include a more intuitive dashboard when you login and a much improved day pass system. In the coming weeks, you will begin to notice permanent day pass QR code signs in all the major parking lots on campus. These signs will make purchasing a day pass extremely easy for our guests.


In addition to our new parking software, we also were able to work with our shuttle vendor to add 15 additional days to the Pio Express this academic year. The Pio will now run on all holidays and breaks through the year with the exception of the winter break. This will include Fall Break, Thanksgiving, and Spring Break, to name a few. These added days will offer those that remain on campus during a break to have better transportation access.


As always, if you ever have any transportation related questions please feel free to email:

parking@lclark.edu.
