Handicap Permits

• All persons with a state-issued handicap permit must register their ADA card with Parking Services. Individuals with a state-issued handicap permit are required to purchase a valid UNO virtual parking permit. UNO-issued handicap permits will only be issued if the individual has or purchases a current UNO parking permit and presents a doctor's request with an end-date on it. Fees may be applicable. 
• Vehicles bearing handicap permits may park in any stall designated for handicap parking. If no handicap stall is available, vehicles bearing handicap permits may park in any faculty/staff or student lot where the stall is not specifically reserved or assigned. 
• Individuals with short-term handicap parking needs should contact Parking Services. 

Daily/Hourly Permit Options

Only on campus for a short time each week or semester? Save money by purchasing a daily or hourly virtual permit, instead of a semester or annual permit.
 
Both the Pacific Street Garage and West Parking Garage will be open for hourly and daily parking. Pay-to-park by the hour with the ParkOmaha app or new kiosks in both garages. ParkOmaha app users will find lot zone numbers posted at eligible parking sites. If you need to end your parking early on the App, on your open session, just tap the "end parking" button, and you will be charged only what time you used.

The Park Omaha App is available after 12:30 P.M. in all levels of the East Garage.

Advanced purchase, full-day permits are available via MavPARK for a discounted price.

Carpool Permits

The University of Nebraska–Omaha (UNO) carpool program assists faculty/staff and students with their daily commute.  Benefits of this program:  Share Expenses, Reduce Carbon Footprint, Provide Reserved Parking, Decrease Stress, Reduce Permit Prices.

How it Works

Each group receives one virtual permit. Each member can their own registered vehicle  on the application. Any registered vehicle may be used as the carpool vehicle, as long as that is the only vehicle of the group that is parked on campus at one time.. 

Carpool permits are restricted to carpool spaces until 5 P.M.  After 5 P.M., they can park in general use stalls.

Eligibility

1. Current faculty/staff or students with a minimum of two participants per carpool.
2. Daily permits CANNOT park in a carpool space.
3. Carpool permit holders cannot purchase any other annual/semester permit.  If a member elects not to ride with the carpool on a given day, they must purchase a daily/hourly permit, pay $3 after 12:30pm to park in the East Garage or park at Lot 26.

The primary permit holder is charged and assigned the permit.  This charge will not be processed through payroll or MavLink, cash or credit only.
