Parking on campus
As UW Tacoma is an urban campus, parking can sometimes be a challenge. There are a number of paid parking options on or near campus, but free street parking can be hard to find. You can use this site to explore your options and keep up on the latest parking news.
Parking lots and permits
There are five pay-parking lots and one pay-parking garage on campus; rates vary. Permits are available for most of these.
Other options
In addition to on-campus lots, there are additional pay parking lots across Pacific Avenue at the Washington State History Museum and Tacoma Art Museum and north of 17th Street at the Tacoma Convention Center. Several of these offer discounts to UW Tacoma students.
Free parking is available at the Tacoma Dome Transit Station parking garage. The free Link light rail train runs from the garage to campus every 10 minutes. This garage often fills up early, so finding a space at mid-day may be difficult. Learn more about riding the Link to campus.
