Transportation & Parking
U-M Transportation
SSD approves the use of Para-Transit for students, faculty and staff who usually have mobility impairments and temporary mobility impairments. However, you can contact SSD if you are not sure because there are some other conditions under which students, faculty or staff may qualify.
The University’s Department of Parking and Transportation lists options for transportation available to students, faculty and staff with disabilities. Visit their website at: http://pts.umich.edu/taking_the_bus/special_services.php
U-M Parking Services
A student with a disability who wishes to use accessible parking in U of M staff paid lots or structures will need to use a U of M paid parking permit in conjunction with a state accessible parking permit. To obtain a staff paid parking permit, students must present a state accessible parking permit, together with a student I.D. and car registration, to the U of M Parking Services Office. As needed, Parking Services will issue a one-week temporary parking permit to allow time to obtain a state accessible parking permit. If you have a temporary state permit, you will be issued a temporary U of M permit. For more information about accessible parking, visit the U of M Parking and Transportation Services website: http://pts.umich.edu/permit_parking/disability_services.php
