The Borough of State College Parking Department will change its parking restrictions ahead of Penn State’s 2026 graduation weekend, it announced Wednesday.

The Borough will not enforce the “No Parking 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.” and the one- and two-hour restrictions beginning at noon on Friday, May 8, and up until 2 a.m. on Monday, May 11.

Lawn parking, however, will not be permitted.

With these changes, the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code Violations will still be strictly enforced, and those in violation of these infractions will still be subject to ticketing and towing; These include:

• No parking on the sidewalk
• No parking within an intersection
• No parking on a crosswalk
• No parking within 20 feet of crosswalk at an intersection
• No parking 30 feet of a stop sign
• No parking more than 12 inches from the curb
• No parking against traffic
• No parking in front of driveway
• No parking anytime

It is important to note that all other non-PA Vehicle Code Violations will also still be strictly enforced. On-site parking meters and parking lot meters will remain in effect from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m.
