Parking and
commuting options
By Laura Mishin and Asad Tacy

Parking in the U-District can be difficult to navigate. Here
are some options to make it more bearable, as well as
several ways to avoid parking entirely
STUDENT PARKING PERMITS
Student parking permits are available from UW
Transportation Services in two flavors: a daily day permit
for $7.55 a day, or a night permit valid only between 4 pm
and 8 am for $3.15 per night, both only valid in specified
lots. Students on two-wheeled vehicles (motorcycles,
mopeds, and scooters) can get a permit for $189 per
quarter, valid at any motorcycle parking zone across
campus. As a student resident, a daily permit at the cost
of $7.55 can also be purchased. These and other permits
can be purchased at the Transportation Services office,
located on the corner of Northeast Campus Parkway and
University Way Northeast, between Poplar and Schmitz
Halls.
VISITOR PARKING PERMITS
Parking for visitors and guests is available at self-serve
stations from Monday through Friday, 6 am to 9 pm,
04 | Information
and Saturdays from 7 am until noon. Most lots have pay
machines where you enter your stall or license plate
number, all of which take Visa, MasterCard, and American
Express as well as dollar coins or quarters. While parking
rates vary by time and location, a daily permit will cost
you $4 an hour on weekdays. Complimentary parking is
available in unrestricted lots on weekday evenings from 9
pm to 6 am and on weekends from noon Saturday to 6 am
Monday. Parking is free during holiday closures.
For additional information about parking and a map
of UW parking lots, visit washington.edu/facilities/

STREET PARKING
Street parking is available throughout the U-District for
around $2 an hour, Monday through Saturday, from 8 am
to 8 pm. Street parking is free after 8 pm and on Sundays
and holidays except where signage states otherwise.
For free street parking, try venturing several blocks off
campus to the North.
