Parking and Transportation Tips
By University Bus (Free)
University of Michigan buses are the easiest way to get around campus! There is no cost - Simply hop on and ride.

By Car
Visitor parking on North Campus is limited. Payment booths accept both cash and card. We recommend you park in the metered visitor parking spaces behind either the Lurie Biomedical Building or Art & Architecture Building. Please make sure that you do not park in the "Blue Permit" or "Business" parking spaces, which are reserved for staff. Please see an example of the visitor parking sign:
North Campus, the home of Michigan Engineering, is a hub of creativity — where engineering, art, music and design students co-exist.
