Parking and Transit for Fall 2026

Student parking permits for UWM’s main campus are currently sold out. Cambridge, Kenilworth, and RiverView garages are also sold out.
Most commuter students can register for a free parking permit at U-PARK located at Capitol & Humboldt.  U-PARK has shuttles running every 10 minutes during the day to main campus.
Students can also register for a free student bus pass, or U-PASS, that can be used on any Milwaukee County Transit System bus, including several park and lot rides throughout Milwaukee county.
If you don't need to park on campus each day but want to guarantee parking, consider a daily parking reservation.
