For class and group-specific arrival and parking recommendations, please visit your class or group page.

Parking permits for unrestricted parking spaces are not required Thursday noon through Sunday noon of Reunion. Exceptions include parking spaces specifically reserved for a particular license plate, accessibility spaces without a placard, MT maintenance spaces, and life safety/tow away/fire lane areas. If you have general campus parking questions, please call 607-255-4600.

All state or municipally issued mobility placards that you normally use in your vehicle will be honored on campus at Reunion. You may park in all accessibility spaces using your placard, unless the spaced is reserved for a specific license plate. If you are renting a vehicle and do not have your mobility placard with you, you may visit our Reunion Staff Headquarters located in the Robert Purcell Community Center (RPCC) on North Campus to request a temporary Cornell issued placard.

With the exception of Libe Slope on West Campus the answer is NO. Many lawn areas have sensitive sprinkler systems below the grass that keep campus looking beautiful. The weight of vehicles will damage them. Parking on lawn areas aside from Libe Slope is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Vehicles run the risk of being towed at owner's expense. We will have Reunion shuttle vans circulating main parking lots on North and West Campus to return guests who have parked to their headquarters.

There are electric vehicle charging stations on campus, which have a three-hour charging limit. All stations are Level Two dual-port ChargePoint EV charging stations, available locations are on the third level of the Forest Home parking garage (3 stations), Hoy Road parking garage (2 stations), Hollister Hall (2 stations), and Booth Baseball Field (Ellis Hollow Rd, 3 stations). Spaces are first-come, first-served. Find more information about electric and green vehicle parking on campus.

The main parking lot designated for Reunion parking on Cornell’s North Campus is A-Lot, behind the Townhouse Community buildings. A-Lot is accessible from Pleasant Grove Road and Jessup Road.
 
Please note: The Cornell Child Care Center is located near A-lot. The parent/caregiver drop off/pick up parking area is restricted to center families. It is critical that this safe parking and travel area is left open for little ones as they arrive and depart from their care location. Please do not parking your vehicle in these spaces. Barricades will be in place at the entrance and exit of the parent/caregiver parking area to designate the spots that should not be used by Reunion guests. We appreciate your help in keeping students and their parents/caregivers safe during Cornell Reunion 2024.

With thousands of people celebrating Reunion, navigating campus with your personal vehicle can be tricky. We have arranged for Reunion shuttle buses to circulate routes that run on North, West, Central, and west campus areas. Shuttles are free of charge to guests wearing a Reunion 2024 button. Reunion 2024 transportation information will be available at class and group headquarter locations as well as Reunion Information Centers. In addition, guests wearing a Reunion 2024 button can ride TCAT route 81, 82 & 10 route stops free of charge.

In many cases a group specific bus has been arranged from your headquarters to a class or group meal or special event. Check with individuals staffing your class/group headquarters for details on event specific busing.
 
Yes! For individuals who need assistance boarding a vehicle or have special mobility equipment such as a wheelchair or walker, we have you covered. Accessibility vehicles will serve as an on-demand ride service for those with particular mobility needs. From Thursday noon through Sunday noon of Reunion weekend, guests can contact our Reunion Staff Headquarters at 607-255-7085 to arrange for transportation to or from an event. These vehicles come equipped with a wheelchair accessible ramp or lift to help guests board if needed. Several rides can be scheduled all at once or on a case by case basis by guests. 30 minutes of lead time is requested when making a ride request.

Unfortunately not. For safety and liability reasons, Cornell cannot rent motorized equipment such as scooters or golf carts for individual use. Guthrie Medical Supply may have motorized scooters available should you wish to rent one personally. They can be reached at 607-273-4727. Cornell has a limited number of push wheelchairs available for use. Should you require a push wheelchair, please visit your classes and groups page to find contact information for your class or group and reach out to them to make them aware.
 
We cannot provide companion aids to assist individuals in getting around campus. We do have accessibility transportation. We suggest you bring a companion to Reunion if you need assistance in moving about campus.
