Contact the Rice Parking Office for RV or any other large vehicle parking (e.g. buses, oversized vehicles that will take up more than one normal parking space, or trailers).
Notes
Parking permits for the next academic year can be purchased as early as July 1 of each year. We encourage customers to buy a permit early to get a space. If at any time you find your preferred lot full, please review Permits and Their Rights page to know where else you may park with your permit. Riders can now track TMC shuttles live! See more on the TMC Shuttle Services page.
