Parking Guidelines for Staff

Applying for parking on campus can be challenging. There are only 9,000 parking spaces available for over 76,000 faculty and staff. If you plan to apply for parking as opposed to using public transit or biking to work, please utilize these best practices and share with your staff and new hires. Any questions can be directed to your Unit Transportation Coordinator (UTC). To find your UTC, you can check the Transportation Services listings. Please note that UTCs do not assign parking and cannot guarantee parking for any applicant.

Lot Choices

You are allowed 4 lot choices when you apply for parking. It is strongly recommended to select all 4 choices to give yourself the greatest chance at receiving an offer.

Lot 11 is reserved for a select group of people. Do not apply for Lot 11.

For a list of lots to include an interactive map, please visit the Transportation Services website.

Accepting an Offer

Transportation Services will send an email to you if/when you receive an offer for parking. Follow the instructions to accept. As parking is highly competitive, best practice would be to accept your offer even if it is not your ideal lot.

Please accept your offer as soon as possible so that Transportation Services can accurately calculate space available. If you do not accept your offer by the deadline, that offer will expire and you will no longer be on the list for that lot.

Wait List Status

If you did not receive an offer, you likely are on a waitlist for all of your choices. If you accepted a lower choice lot offer, you will remain on the waitlist for your higher level choices. You do not need to reapply.

If you would like to reapply with different lot choices, you are welcome to do so. It is encouraged to choose lots with current availability as you update your selection to give you a greater chance at an offer. Note that this still does not guarantee that you will receive a permit offer.

Your UTC should be able to provide you with your waitlist position, while Transportation Services can give you more information on how fast lots are moving as well as which ones have space available.
