The Ann Arbor Transit Authority (AATA) operates city buses that can get you to the mall, grocery store or other parts of Ann Arbor. UM students, faculty and staff can ride the city buses for no charge
by showing their yellow Mcard (UM ID card).

*Special Note: Commuter Buses will not be going by the hospital during the Move-In schedule.*

Parking

In general, the University provides no parking on campus for first- or second-year students. Upperclass students or those with special circumstances are eligible for parking permits from UM's Transportation Services.

Limited parking is available for residence hall students via a lottery.
