Parking Services

Introduction

The following rules and regulations provide guidance and information when bringing a vehicle onto the University of Connecticut Storrs Campus. These policies follow Connecticut State Statute 10A-139 and are intended to provide control and availability of campus parking. All students, employees, vendors, visitors, contractors, etc., who park a motor vehicle on campus are subject to these rules and regulations.

It is the responsibility of all individuals operating a motor vehicle on campus to be aware of and abide by the parking policies contained in this literature. Operating a vehicle on campus is deemed evidence of the vehicle operator's acceptance and understanding of these policies.

Parking on the Storrs campus is strictly regulated and is allowed only in paved, lined areas. Parking on lawns, grounds, or sidewalks is strictly prohibited. Parking during the hours of 7AM and 5PM, Monday through Friday is by permit only. Some areas are restricted beginning at 5AM or for 24 hours (as posted). Violators will be ticketed and are subject to towing.

Parking in the North and South Garage is available for vehicles for a daily fee. There is no overnight parking available in the South Garage.

The Storrs campus is primarily a pedestrian campus. All motor vehicles must stop for pedestrians in crosswalks according to Connecticut State law. The maximum speed limit on campus is 25MPH. The maximum speed in all parking lots is 10MPH. These limits are in effect 24 hours per day.

Parking on campus is in high demand. Anyone who can avoid bringing a vehicle to campus should do so. The use of carpools and public transportation is encouraged. A shuttle service is operated to serve the University of Connecticut at Storrs and surrounding areas. This shuttle is free to UConn students, employees, and visitors. For information on shuttle services and schedules, call Transportation at (860) 486-1448.
