SERVICES WE OFFER
STAFFING
PARKING ATTENDANTS
Attendants assist and guide your guests to your event parking. In addition to the cost of the spaces themselves, some events may require attendants to properly secure the reserved spaces. Staffing is scheduled based on the location of the event parking, day and time of your event and the amount of parking needed for event guests. Many medium and large scale events will require parking attendants. A member of the contract coordination team will discuss staffing requirements with you after your event request is received. Staffing fees are charged to allow time pre and post event parking tasks.

ONSITE EVENT SUPERVISORS
From start to finish, the onsite event supervisor makes sure
that your event parking runs as smoothly as possible.
Depending upon the size of your event, you may be required
to have a supervisor on site to oversee the parking
attendants.

RESERVED PARKING
Reserved parking is based on the number of cars your event will bring to campus. Your guests' parking location will be at the discretion of the special events schedule and lot availability. To help determine the reservation size, please contact the special events contract manager. Event sponsors are financially liable for all reserved spaces both occupied and unoccupied as well as for the set-up time prior to your event starting.
SPACE RESERVATION FEE
For an additional cost, you can reserve a specific parking
location on campus to better suit your guests' needs. Please
speak to the events contract manager to verify that those
accommodations can be made.

LOT PERMITS
Permits can be purchased for either surface lots or metered spaces depending upon the location of your event.

Requests to install jersey barriers for use in roadways and other non-parking locations should be directed to UMPD after a rental request is submitted.

NOTE: These services are available independently of each other.
RESERVE YOUR EVENT PARKING
Spaces are available on a first come first serve basis. Submit all requests as early as possible to lock in your reservation. Submission of your request does not guarantee parking for your event. A signed event contract and appropriate form of payment are required to confirm all reservations.
To request parking for your event, please submit all requests through our Event Request Form. Provide as much detail as possible, using the section, "Services We Offer", to help you.
