Parking
and Transportation Services: The University of Wisconsin - Eau
Claire, like other colleges and universities finds parking to be
an ever present and evolving challenge. Parking and Transportation
Services, in cooperation with students, faculty, and
administrators, strives to find an equitable way to manage the
limited number of parking spaces available to all members of the
University Community. Therefore, parking policies and regulations
at UW-Eau Claire are aimed at easing the parking crunch on campus
and in the neighborhoods adjacent to the campus. These policies
and regulations are part of an overall parking plan, which
incorporates a multifaceted approach to managing the limited
number of parking spaces available on campus. It includes a
differentiated pricing system for parking permits, significant
penalties for violations, and a free city-wide transit service. If
you will be visiting campus, please stop by the Visitor Center
(corner of Park and Roosevelt Avenues) for a guest parking permit
and directions to your campus destination. Detailed and current
parking information can be obtained from Parking and
Transportation Services, Schneider Hall 106, (715) 836-2002, or
parking@uwec.edu.

Parking: Visitors to campus should stop at the Visitor Center
to receive a guest parking permit and directions to various campus
and city destinations. Located at the corner of Park and Roosevelt
Avenues on lower campus, the Visitor Center also offers reserved
