TRANSPORTATION FOR RESIDENTS

Transportation

There are a variety of ways to get around campus and the Salt Lake area. We strongly encourage you to consider alternate transportation methods rather than bringing a car with you to campus. Only about a third of students who live on campus bring a car with them!

Campus shuttles run regularly from the Peterson Heritage Center and around campus. To track all campus shuttle locations live, view estimated times of arrival and find nearest stops, visit uofubus.com

Your UCARD also allows you to utilize all public transportation in Salt Lake City, including TRAX, Frontrunner, and UTA bus routes. Download the Transit app to find a UTA route that works for you. For more information visit ride.uta.com

TIP: INFO FOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS

Planning a visit to campus? Guests can stay on campus at the University Guest House, our beautiful hotel located adjacent to Heritage Commons. Call 888-416-4017 or visit guesthouse. utah.edu for rates and reservations. Special rates for students are available, including Winter Break.

Parking

Residential parking is limited, and parking next to your building is not guaranteed. If you plan to bring a vehicle with you to campus, you should also plan to purchase a University of Utah parking permit. Commuter Services offers a variety of permit types to residential students. Explore permit types at commuterservices.utah.edu.

Safe Ride

SafeRide is a free after-hours service for students who don’t feel comfortable walking to buildings or parking lots at night. This service is especially convenient for residents studying or working late on campus.

SafeRide functions similarly to other rideshare programs like Uber or Lyft but only operates within university boundaries, Monday - Friday from 6 p.m. - 12:30 a.m. Students may request a ride by downloading the TransLoc app and following the prompts.
