New Employees
Parking throughout Grounds is limited. Most new employees will park in a remote parking lot and utilize the University Transit Service (UTS) to get to their work location. Parking on Grounds is managed by license plate or digital access. Please be prepared to provide the license plate(s) of all vehicles that you will bring to Grounds at the time of purchase. While you acclimate with Grounds and your new position, P&T offers a temporary parking permit for the John Paul Jones Arena parking lots for two weeks, starting on your hire date.
Parking can be purchased through your online portal. Parking should be secured before your two-week temporary access expires. If you are unsure of what parking option to select or have any questions, please contact our office. Review the parking map of Grounds to see the location of each parking lot.
All close-in parking on Grounds is waitlisted. To place yourself on a waitlist, please log in to your parking portal.

Motorcycle and Moped Parking
Parking and Operation
Motorcycles and mopeds are considered motor vehicles in Virginia and are subject to parking and operating restrictions similar to other vehicles while on Grounds. All motorcycles and mopeds must be registered with Virginia's Department of Motor Vehicles and must have valid license plates and VIN numbers clearly displayed. In addition, they must have a valid parking permit to park on Grounds and are subject to parking enforcement.
Parking Locations
The motorcycle and moped parking map shows the designated parking locations. On Grounds locations are designated via signage as either moped parking only, motorcycle parking only, or moped and motorcycle parking. Motorcycles and mopeds are also allowed to park in the Blue/Commuter lots vehicle spaces.
Parking is prohibited in the following areas:
- Bike racks
- Sidewalks and green spaces (unless designated otherwise with signage)
- Areas that block building entrances or exits
- Inside residence halls and other University buildings
GOLD Permits

GOLD permits are honored in most parking lots on Grounds that have 25 or more parking spaces (see exceptions below):
- UVA Health System (All M and U Lots)
- Hourly Spaces (including those at UVA fitness/recreation centers/Central Grounds Garage)
- Lee Street Garage, South Garage on Crispell Drive, 11th Street Garage

- Enforcement
GOLD permits are not transferable, and permit holders must adhere to all Parking Regulations and Restrictions. They are subject to ticketing and towing if found violating these policies.
GOLD permits can be revoked at the discretion of the University if the permit holder has been proven to abuse his/her privilege. Fraudulent misuse by displaying a lost, stolen, counterfeited permit or allowing others to use the permit is punishable by an administrative fine and total revocation of parking privilege.- Event Impacts
GOLD permit holders are required to vacate lots for special events such as home Football Games at Scott Stadium, concerts/acts at John Paul Jones Arena (JPJ), or concerts at Cabell Hall by the posted vacate times. GOLD permit holders who park at the lots or garage at Scott Stadium should check the home Football Game schedule for restricted parking dates and times. Those who park at the lots at the John Paul Jones Arena (JPJ) should regularly check the JPJ Events Schedule for restricted parking dates and times.
Failure to vacate the event parking lots by the posted time may lead to ticketing and/or towing.
Accessible Parking
Academic employees with temporary or permanent medical conditions or disabilities may submit a request for a parking accommodation on Central, North, and West Grounds by emailing [email protected]. The request should include start and end date and supporting documentation from a physician. If the request results in a parking assignment, associated parking rates will apply.
