The changes are meant to support both local businesses and the broader community. Eugene residents with downtown parking permits can expect at least a $5 increase in their monthly fees. Residents with quarterly and yearly permits for on-street parking will see more than a $10 increase in their fees. Additional changes will come with regard to parking validations and bulk permits.Students who commute to and from campus will likely see these changes for themselves. For campus district parking, fees vary. The city is planning a $2 fee increase for daily parking, another $2 increase for event parking at city facilities and a $4 increase for event parking at non-city facilities, according to their website.The website also lists changes for metered parking. Meters in off-street facilities will face a $0.50 increase as well as a 60-minute interval for on-street parking. For a five-hour interval, $2.50 is the expected increase.The University of Oregon hasn’t planned any increases to on-campus parking, which differs from campus district parking. Rates should still remain consistent at $3 per hour, with a maximum charge of $18 per day for garage parking. “By aligning rates with today’s needs, we can continue offering the high-quality services our community and visitors rely on,” Lindsay Selser, public information officer for the Eugene Planning and Development Department, said in a statement.Those with on-campus parking passes will not see any increases, but as the 2026-27 academic year begins, students who commute to and from campus are more than likely to be affected by these citywide changes.</div></body>
