Cool Features

What makes Parking Buddy so great and resourceful – besides saving you the hassle of finding a parking spot on campus – are its intuitive and reliable features! Parking Buddy was designed with the user in mind the whole time and that is evident in all of its functions. Take a look at they key components below:

  • Overhead/Aerial View
    • With Parking Buddy’s aerial view of lots, you can easily see which spot is open as well as the closest entrance/exit point. This takes away the disappointment you get after you think a spot is open and then you pull up to it just for a tiny smart car to be parked there. Pain, I know. We’ve all been there.
  • Spot Reservation
    • With the addition of Spot Reservation, you can reserve a spot 10-minute’s in advance before pulling up so you don’t have to worry about anyone taking an open spot before you get there. However, to properly enforce this reservation this function requires payment of $5.00 per spot reserved. There will be lot observers on standby to place cones for your reserved spot and remove them upon arrival!
  • Buddy Assistance
    • We here at Parking Buddy are not your only buddy but just one of many! Parking Buddy is a community-based program similar to that of Waze in which you can communicate with other users. If you experience car troubles while in the parking lot or on campus, you can use Parking Buddy to communicate with other Buddies for assistance or us directly so we can send over Campus Engineers to help! From dead batteries to flat tires, Buddy Assistance will take away all the time sitting, waiting for AAA services!
