Editor’s Note: As the University of Miami reopens and welcomes students, faculty, and staff back to campus for the Fall 2020 semester, our “Campus Ready” updates will help the University community navigate how to eat, shop, stay fit, and more, while putting our health and well-being first.
Color restrictions remain unchanged and will be enforced Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The nights and weekend permit is only valid after 4 p.m. on weekdays and at any time during the weekend.

Interested in other ways to get around campus? The Department of Parking and Transportation offers a variety of sustainable, safe, and often discounted ways to travel. By registering through the UBike program, the University community has access to free bike locks through the University of Miami Police Department, on-campus repair stations and air pumps, and safe options for storage.
Students, faculty, and staff looking for alternative travel options—such as Miami-Dade transit, Brightline, or Tri-Rail—can explore the variety of programs, discounts, and sustainable options here.
“The Parking and Transportation team is excited to welcome students back to campus and we will continue to work together to uphold the safe and sustainable practices that ensure that the health and well-being of our community remains a priority.”
— Richard Sobaram, executive director, Parking and Transportation
In an effort to encourage physical distancing, the Department of Parking and Transportation requests that customers complete transactions by email or telephone as much as possible, including all parking permit transactions.
