Department Overview

The overall responsibility of  Parking & Transit is to administer the parking plan.

The parking system for the University has three types of parking lots. They are:

1. Prime -- lots located on campus
2. Non-prime -- lots located off campus
3. Resident Hall Zones -- limited to residence hall students with vehicles

The UL Lafayette Transit System provides buses to transport users to the center of campus. The system utilizes a remote parking lot and brings passengers to the main campus. As a result, traffic congestion on the main campus streets is minimal. The majority of students depend on the transit system for transportation to and from classes since it is less expensive, convenient, and prime parking is limited.

The main responsibilities of the Parking & Transit are:

1. Parking Permits -- The Parking & Transit office facilitates the selling of parking permits for all parking zones offered at the University.
2. Parking Control -- Together with the University Police, the Parking & Transit office manages parking on campus by issuing parking tickets to students, faculty, staff, and visitors improperly parked on campus. All parking violations may be paid in the Parking & Transit office.
3. Transit System -- Utilizing 14 buses, transit drivers transport students from off campus parking zones to the center of campus.
4. Pay Lots/Information Booths -- The Parking and Transit office operates two pay parking lots on campus. Additionally, the staff manages the Information booth at Martin Hall.
