The team at Parking and Transportation Services is excited to welcome you back to campus!
We know the first few weeks of the academic year can be hectic as we all adjust to new schedules and new routines, so we want to provide some parking information to make navigating our roads, parking lots and garages a little easier.
Be sure to check out the new shuttle routes, effective August 17, 2026. Visit the Off-Campus Shuttles and On-Campus Shuttles pages for more information.
Before you leave
- Check Garage Status online to see real-time availability.
- You can also see the garage status in the UCF Mobile App by tapping the “Parking” icon.
- Download and use Waze to navigate and avoid congested areas. Traffic congestion and garage closures will be updated in real-time.
- Arrive early to give yourself enough time to find a spot, especially during the first few weeks of the semester.
On campus
- Garages H, D and C are our most popular garages and tend to fill up by 9 a.m.
- For better availability during peak hours (9 a.m.–noon), try Garages A or I, which are a 5-minute walk from most academic buildings.
- Use our Park and Ride Shuttles for hassle-free parking during the first two weeks of the semester!
- Runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. August 24-27 and August 31 – September 2
