Parking and Transit for Fall 2026

If you don't need to park on campus each day but want to guarantee parking, consider a daily parking reservation
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.

Walking

Walking is a cost-effective and healthy way to get around campus.

Benefits of Walking

  • It allows you to get exercise while enjoying the scenery and interacting with others along your path.
  • It is easier and sometimes faster to walk than to drive or bike, especially during heavy traffic periods.
  • Walking saves you the expense of gas, repairs, and other vehicle maintenance.
  • It is much better for the environment than driving.

Safety Tips

  • Be aware of your surroundings
    • Look where you’re going
    • Establish eye contact with motorists and bicyclists
    • If listening to music, limit the volume
  • Carry a cell phone in case of an emergency
  • Walk in well—lit areas.
  • Be aware of the blue light phones for emergencies around campus
