The revenue from permit sales, fines, and pay-to-park areas allows the university to maintain and operate our parking lots and garages, including mainenance and repair of surfaces by patching or replacement, snow removal, lighting, signage, painting and striping lots; as well as funding our sustainability and transit programs, and operating the UNO Parking and Transit Services office.

If you change plates or vehicles, let us know as soon as possible so we can help you update your account.

Yes. For your convenience, UNO permit holders are able to register up to two (2) vehicles on their virtual permit, as long as only one (1) vehicle is parked on campus at a time.
