Tips to Avoid Parking Violations

Be informed: Read the Parking Services policies and procedures and check our interactive maps. The information and map will answer your questions and help you avoid getting parking citations.

Check your color zones: Before entering a parking lot or parking garage, please read the sign at the entrance if you are unsure of the zone or garage or whether you are in a legal parking area. M-F from 7am-5pm, employees are required to be in their designated permitted parking area. From 5pm-7am M-F and S/S, any authorized KUMC permit may park in any surface lot zone not specifically regulated by signage or gates.   View map
