The Toys for Tickets event has returned for 2025. Toys for Tickets is in its ninth year running a successful toy collection for children. BGSU Parking Services will dismiss any parking citation issued from October 1, 2025, through December 1, 2025, in exchange for a new toy with a receipt that is of equal or greater value than the citation. Toys must be delivered to BGSU Parking Services before the end of day December 12, 2025 and must be of equal or greater value than the citation(s). A receipt is required for the toy to be accepted.

Citations received for vehicle boots, forged or illegal permits, and those for parking in a handicap space do not qualify for Toys for Tickets.

2025-2026 School Year permits are available now. Please check your email for information on your permit or log-in to view permits available to you.

BGSU Parking Services will now provide ticket notifications by email only. Emails will be sent to the email listed on your parking account. A physical parking violation ticket will no longer be placed on your vehicle.

Please get in touch with Parking Services at 419-372-2776 or email parking@bgsu.edu with questions.

Parking in grass, drives, fire lanes, loading docks, reserved spaces and unauthorized ADA spaces are prohibited and will be enforced 24/7.

When you log in to your parking account, you can now opt in to receive text messages. Opting in allows you to receive notifications about citations and permits, as well as important messages about your parking account. Once you opt in you can return to your portal to opt out if you no longer wish to receive updates.
