Monthly parking options 

​Most state parking lots and facilities are full to capacity; vacancies may not occur for several months/years. To determine the next person in line for a parking space, a waiting list is maintained for each lot and facility. Vacancies are filled based on the requesting party's priority level - details are published in OAR 125-090-0110​ - and the date of their request.

Call the parking office at 503-378-5090 or email state.parking@das.oregon.gov​ to be added to a waiting list, to check your waitlist progress, or to change your waitlist request.

Parking in a privately owned lot may be an option if you are on a waiting list. See our list of private parking lots for more information.

A higher priority is given to employees with ADA needs, agency requests, employees that currently have a parking space and transfer to another agency/location, and carpools.

Vacancies are filled based on the requesting party's priority level - details are published in OAR 125-090-0110​ - and the date of their request.​

​​
​State employee monthly parking fees are paid by pre-tax payroll deduction. State employees that would prefer to pay post-tax may do so by submitting a parking deduction pre-tax waiver​ to their agency payroll office. Parking fees are collected in arrears, i.e., July's paycheck pays for June's parking fees.

PEBB now offers a parking flexible spending account. Note: The state parking lot fees are already deducted pre-tax from an employee’s paycheck. The parking FSA cannot be used to pay the monthly parking fee unless employees fill out the pre-tax waiver. 
 
To cancel your parking, notify us at state.parking@das.oregon.gov and return any permits to our office. Parking will be canceled on the day we receive notifiication or on a future date if specified.

​​​​
​​State agencies are invoiced at the beginning of the month for the previous month's parking.

To cancel agency parking, notify us at state.parking@das.oregon.gov and return any permits to our office. Agency parking will be canceled on the day we receive notification or on a future date if specified.​ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
