Shuttle-UM The Shuttle-UM transit system is a unit within the Department of Transportation Services which is predominantly supported by student fees. Shuttle-UM provides commuter, evening, NITE Ride, paratransit, and charter services to University students, faculty, and staff while classes are in session. Schedules are available at the Stamp Student Union Information Desk, the Department of Transportation Services Regents Drive Garage office, the residence halls, and on the DOTS Web site at www.transportation.umd.edu . Zimride Zimride is a carpooling database that is exclusively for the use of University of Maryland Affiliates. Please visit http://zimride.umd.edu/ and enter your Directory ID and password to post your commute and find carpool partners. DOTS also offers preferred parking and reduced parking rates for carpoolers. Zipcar Even 18 year olds can rent the Zipcars that live on the UMD campus. For more information about renting Zipcars please visit www.transportation.umd.edu/share.html Biking The University of Maryland has been designated a Bicycle Friendly Campus by the League of American Bicyclists. DOTS offers clinics, discounted gear and other services through bikeUMD. www.transportation.umd.edu/bike.html Parking The Department of Transportation Services (DOTS) is responsible for managing and maintaining more than 19,000 parking spaces on the University of Maryland campus. All students who plan to park a licensed motor vehicle in one of these spaces must either register for a parking permit at the DOTS office or park at paid meters. Please note: Due to construction projects on campus, the number of parking spaces could be dramatically reduced. Campus resident freshmen and resident sophomores are eligible to register for a parking permit. Because the University of Maryland has limited parking spaces, parking regulations are strictly enforced. Illegally parked vehicles, as well as those vehicles not displaying a campus parking permit in areas requiring permits will be ticketed, and students with outstanding parking fines may be barred from registration. Visit the DOTS Web site for complete procedures and parking regulations, disabled parking information, visitor parking areas, green transportation options, parking registration rates, motor vehicle assistance program information, schedule of fines, and other information.
