Parking and Transit for Fall 2026

Hartford Ave. closure on Saturday, September 12.
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.

Construction detour to NWQ Garage starting Monday, 3/16

As the NWQ Stormwater Management Project continues, the Hartford Ave. drive aisle to NWQ Garage remains closed. The garage remains accessible via Newport Ave.

To improve traffic flow and reduce congestion at the garage entrances, the North Entrance on the Upper Level will be reserved for daily and hourly parkers only. This change helps prevent traffic backups and allows visitors to more easily exit the garage area when parking is unavailable.

Permit holders should access NWQ Garage from Newport Ave. and use one of the permit-holder entrances on the south side of the garage. A map showing the detour and designated entrances is available here: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1uKt7IQwrbHfN0qYpuDu4jgGgSPJhkn0&ll=43.078549406327824%2C-87.8843353&z=19
