Downtown Campus Parking
Get around downtown quickly and conveniently.
Located in the heart of the City Beautiful, Downtown Campus places you in the center of it all—minutes from food and entertainment to shopping and parks. Plus, with public transportation right around the corner, including LYNX and SunRail, you’ll be able to experience even more.
A valid parking permit is required at all times on campus property, including downtown. If you park off campus, but within city limits, you are required to pay for metered spaces. Please note that while street parking—including metered spaces and surface lots—may be available, you will still be responsible for the parking rates even if you have a Downtown Campus parking decal.
