  • It is never advised to park illegally and risk getting a citation.
    • Utilizing emptier lots and the shuttles helps you avoid this!
  • Park once!
    • Try not to move your vehicle once you've arrived on campus. It typically takes less time to use the shuttle than to find a new parking spot.
  • You can bring your bike on the shuttle!
    • All CCU shuttles are equipped with bike racks.
