Other parking information

Find information about accessible parking, veteran parking, motorcycle parking, contractor and service vehicle parking, electric vehicle charging and bicycle parking on the Kamloops campus.

Accessible parking

Accessible parking stalls are designated in various lots on campus as shown on the map. They are usually closest to buildings.

You must have a valid general lot rate parking permit. This can be a general permit through the TRU-dedicated Online Permit Portal, or daily parking using the non-touch SMRTpass QR codes located in the specific lot where you are parking.

For accessible stalls in premium and reserved lots, use the SMRTpass QR code located at the individual accessible stall. These stalls are discounted to the general lot rate.

To use an accessible space, your vehicle must display either a valid provincial placard, or a short-term placard available from the Facilities Office located at the Materials Distribution Centre with an approved doctor's note.

Parking types and other permits

Veteran parking

Anyone, including staff, students or visitors to campus, with veteran plates can park in either economy, general or visitor parking lots at no charge.

Motorcycle parking

  • Motorcycle stalls are first-come, first-served and are designated in lots C and W only.
  • Daily parking is $3.50 per day and can be purchased through the SMRTpass QR code posted in the lot.
  • Long-term permits are $43.75 per month and can be purchased through the CTRL Online Permit Portal.
  • Motorcycle parking permits are only valid in designated motorcycle spaces. If you park your motorcycle in economy, general, premium or reserved spaces, those rates apply.

Contractors and service vehicles

Service vehicle parking spaces are typically located to have easy access to buildings. Every contractor parking at TRU must apply at the Facilities Office for a service vehicle permit to use those spaces, in addition to purchasing a parking permit.
