It’s a good time to travel by foot, bike or bus, and to be extra alert: A busy week of traffic and parking around the University of Oregon is here.

Annual move-out of nearly 4,000 students from the UO residence halls runs Monday, June 12, through Friday, June 16; UO Commencement is Monday, June 19.

UO faculty and staff should be aware of increased vehicle and pedestrian traffic around the residence halls and Hayward Field. Everyone in the university community is encouraged to use alternate transportation whenever possible. Drivers should avoid 13th and 15th avenues and Moss Street, as well as parking lots located near residence halls.
