Parking
Parking on Campus
Located south of the Red Cedar River, Lot 62w is very close to the MSU Main Library. The parking rate is $0.90 per half hour for visitors, higher than the rates in downtown East Lansing. This lot only accepts cash payment.
Located on West Circle Drive, Ramp 6 is somewhat close to the MSU Library – about a 3-5 minute walk. Visitors may park here using only available “Pay By Plate” spots. The machine accepts multiple forms of payment, including cash, coins, and credit cards, however it does not make change. You can also pay and extend your time using the Spot On app.
Parking in Downtown East Lansing
Across Grand River Ave., there are plenty of parking options including the Albert Ave. Lot, the Grove St. Garage, the Charles St. Garage, the Division St. Garage, and the Bailey St. Lot. These attended parking options run at the rate of $0.75 per half hour. More information can be found using the City of East Lansing’s Downtown Parking Guide.
