Parking Services

We provide parking permits, citation support and campus parking resources for students, faculty, staff and visitors.

Parking Services is now a part of TU's Office of Public Safety. We provide parking permits, citation management, visitor options and enforcement resources to keep the TU community moving, whether you're on campus every day or just stopping in for an event. All permit purchases and account management are handled through the eParking Portal.

  • Charging stations are available for daily use, with a maximum of 4 hours. Once your time is up, please move your vehicle to a space with a valid TU parking permit.
  • Ground-level access is available after hours at West Village Garage (WVG), Towsontown Garage (TTG) and Union Garage. A OneCard with an active parking permit is required for entry. Upper levels are not accessible after hours. Please do not attempt to open gate arms manually.

Parking Signs
