BUNDLE PACKS

Bundle pack permits are the perfect solution for commuter students who may need to drive to campus occasionally. A bundle pack contains 10 one-day parking permits for Lots 4 or 6 and may be purchased for $75 from our office in Regents Drive Garage. These permits are virtual and must be activated prior to parking on campus through the parking portal.  Here are step-by-step instructions on how to activate one of your bundle packs.

TEMPORARY MEDICAL PERMITS

Students with medical conditions that require different parking arrangements than assigned should have their healthcare provider fill out our Medical Parking Request form and email it to transportation@umd.edu. Typically, this results in permission to park in any student lot. Please note that this temporary accommodation does not allow for parking in ADA accessible parking spaces.
