Parking and Transportation Services
Welcome! Your University of Idaho Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) team is focused on keeping U of I moving. As we grow, it’s imperative that we become a campus where a personally owned vehicle is not required to meet commuter and campus resident mobility needs. Our beautiful Moscow community is easily traversed by most on foot or bicycle, and when you need to get around more quickly or go longer distances, alternative transportation options are available. Vandal Access Service provides Vandals with mobility-limiting disabilities access to facilities and programs on campus. If you choose to bring a car to campus, please understand that a permit will be required and availability of a specific permit type or parking location is not guaranteed.
We're here to help! If you have questions, contact us at 208-885-6424 or parking@uidaho.edu. Our office is open to the public. We're located on campus inside the Intermodal Transit Center, 1006 Railroad Street. PTS office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the academic year and 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. during academic breaks.
Parking Updates and Closures
Winter Break Parking will be in effect from Saturday, Dec. 16 through Tuesday, Jan. 9. Overnight parking is valid only in Purple, Silver and Economy lot 57E (west of the Kibbie Dome). Note that Silver lot 5, due west of Theophilus Tower, is NOT available for parking. View the Academic Break parking map here. Overnight parking is NOT allowed on campus streets during winter break. A permit is not required for daytime parking in regular spaces in Blue, Red, Orange, Purple, Silver or Economy parking lots, but overnight parking enforcement in these lots is in effect. Gold and Green parking lots, meters and pay-to-park areas are enforced all year.
Graduating? No longer need to park your vehicle on campus? You can return your parking permit to PTS for a prorated refund! View the permit refund schedule. Permits can be returned to PTS in person or by snail mail.
