Parking

Valet parking

Valet parking is available:
Monday-Friday 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Valet parking is available to everyone, but is ideal for patients and visitors who are from out of town or who find walking longer distances a challenge.  It also allows the caregiver or family member to stay with the patient rather than having to drop them off and park the vehicle.  

A valet will greet you at the main entrance to Hamot Medical Center on State Street and take your vehicle to be parked.  When you are ready to leave, call (814) 877-5454 15 minutes in advance of your departure and your vehicle will be returned to the front entrance.  The cost for all day at the ramp is $10, while all day valet parking is $8 and provides a more convenient experience while at the hospital.

Emergency Room Patients

While visiting the emergency room parking is available in the parking ramp. One ticket per patient will be validated at the ER registration office.

For Short Stays

A metered parking lot located at Third and French streets near Hamot’s Emergency Department and Outpatient Registration entrance is ideal for short stays of one to two hours.

A public parking ramp operated by the Erie Parking Authority is located just south of Hamot, between State and French streets. To park in this ramp, enter on East Third Street. Hourly and daily rates are offered.

For Longer Stays

When visiting Hamot for a longer period of time, the Park & Ride shuttle service, offered Monday through Friday by the Erie Metropolitan Transit Authority, is a more economical option.

The shuttle operates from 6:15 a.m. to 6:40 p.m.; a round-trip ride is $1. The shuttle leaves from the Park & Ride lot on the Bayfront Highway (about one mile west of Hamot) and the intermodal center located northeast of the Bayfront Highway/Holland Street intersection and drops passengers off at the main entrance to the Medical Center.

More information on where to park and how to pick up the shuttle, including a schedule and map, can be requested by calling (814) 877-7007.

Security Escorts

If you are leaving the Medical Center after dark a member of the Hamot security team will be happy to escort you to the adjacent parking areas. Ask the staff at the information desk in the main lobby to call security for you or call (814)877-6666.
