PERMIT AUTHORITY
The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO), through the Board of Regents and its administrative officers, is empowered by the State law (Section 85-106) to establish parking and traffic regulations and to invoke penalties for violating such regulations. Pursuant to authority granted by the State of Nebraska and assignment of responsibilities by the Board of Regents, it is the duty of UNO Parking and Transit Services in partnership with UNO Public Safety to administer and enforce all parking and traffic regulations on properties owned, leased, and/or contracted for use by the Board of Regents.
Parking facilities and permits are managed by UNO Parking and Transit Services. Permits and authorization are issued by UNO Parking and Transit Services to a specific individual or department. Ownership is not transferable and may not be sold, exchanged, given away to any person or department other than UNO Parking and Transit Services.
All permit holders are responsible for reading and understanding all parking rules and regulations as found on this website and for agreeing to abide by them while parking at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO).
Parking permits may not be duplicated, reproduced, or altered in any way without the express authorization of UNO Parking and Transit Services.
VIRTUAL PERMITS, LPR, AND VEHICLE REGISTRATION
UNO uses a virtual permit system. A valid virtual permit is a non-physical permit that is associated to a vehicle license plate state and number and the vehicle description. The license plate of a vehicle parked on campus must be prominently displayed at all times in the front or rear of the vehicle. License plates must be securely fastened in an upright position on the vehicle in the appropriate locations.
UNO uses Automated License Plate Reader (LPR) technology to manage campus parking facilities. The LPR system follows a set of policies and practices in accordance with University rules and regulations. Vehicles must park so a prominently displayed affixed license plate is visible from the patrol vehicle from the adjacent drive aisle.
Accuracy of license plate information, including both plate number and state issued, and vehicle information are necessary to avoid citations. Please contact UNO Parking and Transit Services with any changes by phone 402.554.7275 or email unoparking@unomaha.edu. Failure to do so may result in a citation.
For your convenience, you are able to associate two (2) vehicles with your virtual permit, however, only one vehicle at a time is allowed to park on campus. Please contact UNO Parking and Transit Services with questions.
Valid permits are required on regular enforcement and valid-permit parking days. See the Parking Enforcement Schedule for days when permits are not required, commonly referred to as “open-parking”.
A valid permit is required from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. (Mondays-Thursdays) and 7 A.M. to 5 P.M. (Fridays) during regular enforcement.
Valid permits have restrictions between the hours of 7 A.M. - 2:30 P.M. for faculty, staff, and commuter students, and between 7 A.M. - 5 P.M. for resident students.
Registering a Newly Purchased Vehicle or Rental Vehicle
Newly purchased vehicles and rental vehicles need to be registered to a current permit. Please contact UNO Parking and Transit Services at unoparking@unomaha.edu or 402.554.7275 for assistance with this. Please do not register in-transit or dealer plates. If the vehicle does not have license plates, please register the complete VIN by contacting UNO Parking and Transit Services. A VIN can only be registered until issuance of a state license plate. After receiving plates, contact UNO Parking and Transit Services to update your vehicle on your account and link it to your permit. If a vehicle is displaying plates, UNO Parking and Transit Services will not look for VINs, and a citation will be issued on a plate if not registered.
If a new vehicle is added, please ensure the vehicle is listed on the active permit on the permits page of MavPark.
Other Permits
ADA Parking Permits
Permanent and Temporary State-Issued ADA Parking Permits
Valid UNO permits are required to park in ADA spaces in UNO lots and garages, in addition to the state-issued ADA permit. If no designated ADA spaces are available, vehicles with valid UNO and ADA permits may park in any open faculty/staff or student parking facility in any general-use space.
ADA permit holders need to register their ADA permit with Parking and Transit Services by sending a photo of their current state-issued ADA permit hangtag and card.
ADA permits must be displayed properly.
Carpool Permits
The UNO carpool program assists faculty/staff and students with their daily commute. More information can be found on the Alternative and Sustainable Transportation page.
Motorcycle/Scooter Permits
Motorcycle/Scooter permits are $60 for the 2025-2026 year for both faculty/staff and students. Students interested in a semester permit will only pay $30 for the semester. Motorcycles/Scooters are authorized to park in and restricted to designated motorcycle areas. General-use spaces in lots or garages are not authorized. See Campus Maps for locations of designated motorcycle areas.
If an annual student or faculty/staff parking permit is purchased for a motor vehicle, the motorcycle/scooter permit can be added to your account at no cost. Please contact UNO Parking and Transit Services at 402.554.7275 to have your motorcycle added at no cost. We will need your license plate information as well as the make and model of the motorcycle/scooter.
