Traffic Advisories and Street Closures

University Drive between Broadway Avenue and Capitol Boulevard will have increased traffic congestion between 8 am. and noon to facilitate buses and reserved parking. Plan accordingly and consider parking downtown or using alternative transportation. Public parking on campus will be limited.

Cesar Chavez Lane will be closed to traffic between 6 a.m. and 1 p.m. to facilitate bus staging and parking. Drivers should access University Drive from Beacon or Belmont streets.

Information for Permit Holders

On-campus parking will be extremely limited due to the large number of community members who will be in attendance. Transportation & Parking Services strongly encourages students, faculty and staff to carpool, utilize ValleyRide bus service, bike or walk to help reduce campus traffic and parking demand.

Current students, faculty and staff may ride ValleyRide for free by presenting a valid Boise State identification card with a bus pass sticker. Stickers are available at Transportation & Parking Services, located in the Lincoln Parking Garage or at the Campus ID Office in the Student Union.

Alternative parking for general permit holders will be reserved near the Frisbee golf area and the softball fields in Ann Morrison Park for the day. Shuttle service will be provided to and from campus at Ann Morrison Park between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. A map of available Ann Morrison parking areas and shuttle pick up and drop off areas will be available at transportation.boisestate.edu.

Parking in other Boise State parking lots will be restricted to the public and will be reserved for students, staff and faculty with a valid Boise State parking permit.

Off-Site Parking and Shuttle Services

Due to the very limited parking on the Boise State campus, several parking sites off campus will be reserved for those attending the memorial service. All off-campus sites will have shuttle service to Taco Bell Arena for guests. Boise State Transportation & Parking Services encourages the public to park in downtown parking structures and ride a shuttle to the memorial service to avoid expected heavy traffic on the Boise State campus.

Free parking will be available to the public in the dirt lot bound by 11th and 13th streets on the east and west, and Front and Myrtle streets on the north and south. A shuttle will be provided to and from Taco Bell Arena starting at 8 a.m. Signs will be posted to direct guests to this parking area. Shuttles will drop off near Entrance 3 of Taco Bell Arena on Bronco Lane. Shuttle pick-up will be at the same location where guests were dropped off to attend the memorial.

Boise Downtown Public Parking

Four downtown public parking garages will honor discounted parking for memorial service patrons between 6:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. These include: Myrtle Street Garage, City Centre Garage, Eastman Garage and Capitol Terrace Garage.

After that period, the first hour will be free and then patrons will be charged $2.50 per hour up to a maximum of $5. Shuttles will pick up patrons beginning at 8 a.m. just north of the City Centre Garage on Front Street, between 9th and 8th streets, adjacent to the Boise Centre.
