Parking & Transportation
SUNY Old Westbury Transportation Services

Campus Shuttle Bus
During the fall, winter, spring, and summer semesters, SUNY Old Westbury operates a free shuttle service between the College and the Long Island Rail Road’s Hicksville station. Stops along the way include the Broadway Mall, CVS, Whole Foods, Chipotle, Starbucks, and Chick-fil-a.
Campus Roads and Parking
- All vehicles must have a current Commuter Student Parking Sticker affixed to it.
- Permits can be obtained via the ConnectOW Portal. The permits are effective the entire academic year. Be sure to consult the College's "Frequently Asked Questions about Parking Permits" for more information.
- Follow all speed and parking laws, or else you can get ticketed.
- If you receive a certain number of tickets and do not pay them, you will receive a block on your account and cannot register or receive a transcript.
- The Campus Center parking lot fills up quickly. Arrive with time to find a spot, or try out the Clark Athletic Center or Student Union parking lots, which tends to be used less.
