Enforceable restrictions on vehicles parking on the Capitol Campus
Enterprise Services is addressing issues with overnight and extended parking on Deschutes Parkway that are raising concerns about public health, safety and the environment. A rulemaking process is required before the agency can adopt enforceable restrictions on parking.
The agency has filed a formal notice (CR 101) to conduct rulemaking to adopt enforceable restrictions on parking on the Capitol Campus, with a focus on Deschutes Parkway. DES is committed to a robust process that includes stakeholder input and to finding a solution that is sustainable, defensible and fair.

Rulemaking completed in the past 1 year
Parking on the Capitol Campus
This work to clarify, clean-up, and ensure the rules align with existing campus parking policy was separate from the rulemaking on enforceable parking restrictions.
Proposed changes did not introduce new rules or alter current practices.
In July 2015, the Legislature directed the Department of Enterprise Services (DES) to complete an implementation plan to meet a set of recommendations from the 2014 Transportation and Parking Study, through the proviso outlined in 2EHB 1115. Components of the plan include putting in place a clear policy on reserved stalls, increasing visitor parking, shifting reserved parking to general use zoned parking, and establishing compliance tools.
In support of the implementation plan, Enterprise Services first updated the Capitol Campus parking policy in early 2018 and has now updated the Capitol Campus Parking and Traffic rules.
