Visitor Parking
Visitor permits can be purchased at yellow paystations or by downloading the ParkMobile app from

by license plate.
ParkMobile Reservations is TU's parking reservation system for department guests who
are issued codes. Department guests no longer have to go to the paystation to enter
a code. It is all done online through the department. See the Visitors, Department Guests & Vendors page for more information.
SmartWay Elite Visitor permits can also be purchased through the ParkMobile Reservations site. If you drive a SmartWay Elite vehicle, purchase a daily discounted permit by
