Parking is located on the campus of the University of Cincinnati, two blocks west of the EPA building. Both the parking Deck area and EPA are on Martin Luther King Drive. There are two parking decks, which accept cash, and they are located next to each other, separated by the UC campus street, which intersects Martin Luther King Drive at the traffic signal one block west of EPA. Entrance to the decks is at the traffic signal, which is located between the signal at the EPA entrance and the signal located at the intersection of Martin Luther King Drive and Clifton Road. If traveling to EPA from I-75, the decks are on the right hand side of Martin Luther King Drive; EPA will be one block further down, on the left. Parking in these decks is $7.00 per day, and is payable on exit. Due to construction at EPA, parking for both staff and visitors on-site is limited.
If you have any questions please contact Dr. Ken Poirier (or by telephone at (513) 345-1531).

If you are coming from the South, take I-75 north to Hopple (left exit ramp), turn right and proceed back over I-75 and go up the hill past the White Castle hamburger restaurant. Hopple then becomes King Drive. The distance from I-75 to the EPA is approximately 1.25 miles.
If you are coming from the North, take I-75 south to Mitchell Street (exit 6), then turn left, back under I-75. The first right (at Walgreen=s) is Vine Street, and EPA is approximately 2.5 miles and will be on your right at the intersection of Vine Street and Martin Luther King Drive. From this direction, turn right onto King to enter EPA. For parking, proceed past EPA to turn left at the next traffic signal to enter the parking deck area.
