Travel

Please wait to make travel arrangements until you have received your confirmation email after registering for Duck Days. These events often fill to capacity and once that occurs, we are unable to change your registration to accommodate previously made travel plans. For instance, we cannot add you to a full event even if you’ve made flight reservations before attempting to register.

Due to limited parking on-campus, Duck Days attendees are asked to utilize alternative transportation options, such as our event shuttle service, carpooling, public transit, rideshare/taxi, walking, or bicycling. Complimentary shuttle service will operate from 8:30–10:30 a.m. and 2:30 – 4:30 p.m. between campus and these designated locations:

• Graduate Eugene , 66 E 6th Ave, Eugene OR 97401
• Valley River Inn , 1000 Valley River Way, Eugene OR 97401
• Autzen Stadium , 2700 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Eugene OR 97401

Whether you are a hotel guest or staying elsewhere, Duck Days attendees may use any of the shuttle stop locations. Complimentary parking is available at the Valley River Inn and Autzen Stadium; parking is available for purchase at the Graduate Eugene. More details will be provided to registered guests via email.
