Transportation and Parking
Regardless of where you live, you will use the resources of the university’s Department of Transportation Services. In addition to operating several campus-based routes that operate up to 20 hours per day, Shuttle-UM buses serve a six-mile radius around campus, taking students to local neighborhoods, Metro stations, shops, restaurants and more than two dozen nearby apartment communities. All you need to ride Shuttle-UM is your student ID.
First-and second-year students who live in residence halls may purchase parking permits and bring their vehicles to campus. A range of permits, including options for carpoolers and students who only plan to drive to campus occasionally, are available for off-campus students. Please see the DOTS Web site for details.
