PARKING 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.
ADA PARKING PERMITS
Accessible Parking for Permanent and Temporary State-Issued ADA Parking Permits
Designated ADA spaces are available on campus and reserved for those with a valid state-issued ADA permit as well as a valid UNO permit. Individuals with a state-issued ADA permit must register their ADA permit with UNO Parking and Transit Services and must clearly display the permit while parked. If no ADA space is available, vehicles displaying ADA permits with valid UNO permits may park in any general-use space in any
surface lot or garage on campus.
Individuals with short-term temporary ADA or medical parking needs (injury, pregnancy, etc.) should follow the DMV procedure for obtaining a temporary ADA permit. A temporary permit issued for the necessary period recommended by a medical professional will need to be registered with UNO Parking and Transit Services. All procedures and conditions for temporary ADA permits match the procedures and conditions for permanent ADA permits.
ADA parking spaces, including hash-marked areas adjacent to the spaces, are reserved for authorized vehicles at all times, 24/7/365. These areas are excluded from open-parking and valid-permit parking relaxations. Unauthorized vehicles will risk a citation and may be towed, without further notice, at the owner/operator’s expense.
CARPOOL PARKING PERMITS
The requirements, instructions, and application for Carpool permits are found on the UNO Parking and Transit Services website under Alternative and Sustainable Transportation. Reserved carpool spaces are located in the East Parking Garage (EPG), West Parking Garage (WPG), or Pacific Parking Garage (PPG).
Carpool permits are only valid in designated carpool reserved spaces from 7 A.M. to 2:30 P.M. After 2:30 P.M., Carpool permits are valid in any general-use space.
MOTORCYCLE/SCOOTER PARKING PERMITS
Motorcycles and motorized scooters must register with UNO Parking and Transit Services and purchase a motorcycle permit prior to parking on campus to avoid a citation. A motorcycle permit is free if a vehicle permit is already purchased for the same term, but must be requested by contacting UNO Parking and Transit Services unoparking@unomaha.edu 402.554.7275.
For safety purposes, motorcycle and scooter parking is restricted to designated motorcycle spaces only and may not park in general-use spaces.
See Campus Maps for locations of designated motorcycle areas.
