Parking

Parking for Bryce Jordan Center events should be purchased exclusively through ParkWhiz.

Purchasing parking from third-party resellers may result in:

• Significantly higher prices
• Invalid or fraudulent permits

To ensure a smooth experience, always buy prepaid parking for Penn State events directly from ParkWhiz.

• Prepayment must be completed by the day before the event to avoid day-of-event rates.
• Park in the specific lot selected through ParkWhiz.
• Show your ParkWhiz pass on your mobile device if requested. Printed passes are also accepted.

If you haven’t prepaid for parking through ParkWhiz (available through the day before the event), you must pay full price via the HONK platform using one of the following methods:

Option 1: Scan the QR Code

• Locate signage in the lot.
• Scan the QR code with your phone to pay.

Option 2: Text to Pay

• Text PSUCR to 75498.
• Tap the link in the reply to complete payment.

Option 3: Use the HONK App

• Download the HONK parking app.
• Enter zone number PSUCR to pay.

Important: Your vehicle’s license plate must face the drive aisle. The plate number used for payment must match the parked vehicle.

Accessible parking is available in the Commuter Lots on a first-come, first-served basis.

Requirements:

• A valid state-issued ADA placard or license plate
• A valid Penn State faculty/staff or student parking permit, or payment for parking (via ParkWhiz prepayment or HONK)

Visitors may park at select lots across the University Park campus. Parking rates vary by location, time, day, or week. Higher rates may apply during special events. See lot entrance signage for visitor parking availability or the closest available visitor lot.

Real-time visitor parking capacity information is available for the East, HUB, Nittany, and West parking decks.

Pay for parking at select areas with HONK.
