Headline news

Football traffic and parking information; plan for delays

Construction on State Route 315 will cause traffic delays that are expected to be even more severe after OSU home football games than before. Fans leaving the games – especially the Saturday (9/12) night game vs. USC – could find it takes twice as long to exit campus as in the past. To avoid campus football traffic, there are several alternatives to parking on central campus, including a new Park and Ride option at the City Center Garage and free bus service from west campus. View more alternatives and additional football parking information at http://www.osu.edu/news/newsitem2511.
