Parking at Cleveland State

After many discussions with the Cleveland State University (CSU)
parking department, and assistance from CSU's Computer Science
Department and Conference Services office, we now have a $2 rate
for parking in the Main Classroom Garage for the general
meeting. We are working on getting the same rate at other
locations on the CSU campus for people with vans and trucks
which can't fit in the garage.

In the past, CSU has not charged for parking on Saturday. Due to
financial conditions, CSU is now charging for parking seven days
a week. We were originally going to be charged the non-students
/ non-staff rate of $6. If you tell them that you are with the
Greater Cleveland PC Users Group and attending a meeting in Main
Classroom, you should be charged the $2 rate.
