Parking Lottery System

<p<h2The Office of Fleet and Asset Management (OFAM) Online Parking Lottery System for Downtown Sacramento</h2>Downtown Sacramento State Employees now have the ability to participate in the OPLS.

If you have questions regarding the OPLS, or parking, please review the <a href=" title="Parking Lottery FAQs">Frequently Asked Questions</a>. If you do not get the answer you need from the FAQs, please email us at <a href="mailto:?subject=Parking Question"></a</p>
