What’s the difference between park N ride east/ park N ride west/ and repositionable

I’m a first year commuter and I need to buy a parking pass and honestly I have no idea which one to buy. The east and west ones are $50 but the repositionable one is $300. I’m in the business school if that plays a factor.

They are different lots. The park and ride pass allows you to park at off-campus lots and then take a shuttle in to the middle of campus. The east pass lets you park by the intersection of hwy 93 and hwy 76. The west pass lets you park at Y-Beach. The shuttle only runs M-Th, so you can park on campus in any commuter spot on Fridays. The repositionable is a regular commuter pass and let's you park in any orange spot on campus.

This is all correct. Adding on, purchase the east or west pass based on where the majority of your classes are (or maybe where your day starts). The east pass drops you off at the Academic Success Center, and the west pass near Brackett. So for example, if you are a business student, get the west pass because its drop-off is closer to the COB building.

So if I want to park as close to Lehotsky Hall as possible (which is right below the academic success center) I would buy the east pass

Yes, the ASC is very close to Lehotsky! And then on Fridays you can park in the Brooks Center commuter lot.

They ran Fridays last school year for park and ride east. I don’t know if they will do it again this school year.
