LSU Parking and Transportation announced its updated Park & Geaux program on Tuesday. The program, which aims to make transportation for students accessible and affordable, will open its new Mobility Hub in the fall.
Park & Geaux was first launched by LSU in 2019 as part of its Mobility Implementation Plan, a main goal of LSU’s overall Master Plan. Parking has long been an issue on campus as higher enrollment leads to scarcer parking spots.

This program is available to anyone, regardless of what parking permit they have. The Park & Geaux annual permit costs $50 for students and faculty, and $75 for campus partners and non-affiliates. This plan is cheaper than residential and commuter parking passes, which typically cost $182 when sales first open in July…
