Parking Areas
Miami University has two parking garages and approximately 100 parking meters on campus which do not require a parking permit for use. Garage and meter fees must be paid for the time parked at either type facility. MIAMI UNIVERSITY IS A CASHLESS CAMPUS, this includes all parking areas (garages, meters, etc). Credit/Debit Cards are accepted at parking meters. Credit/Debit Cards and Miami ID Cards (MUlaa, Payroll Deduction) are accepted at Garages.
A parking permit is required to park on Miami University's campus and the streets which run through or adjoin campus at all times unless otherwise noted.
All of Miami's parking areas are color-coded based on parking privilege:
- RED areas - surface lots on campus in the area of academic and administrative buildings
- BLUE areas - surface lots on campus in the area of residence halls for students
- WHITE areas - remote lots for university employees and visitors
- YELLOW areas - remote/holding lots for students
The area in which a vehicle may park is determined by the color of its parking permit; it may also park in areas which are listed below its color in the list above.

Metered Parking Areas
Miami's parking meters have been replaced with mobile app and kiosk technology. Purchasing time in metered parking areas is done using the Passport Parking mobile app and/or physical kiosks. Kiosks are not available in all locations, so the use of the Passport Parking app is highly recommended. Cash is not accepted on campus.
Metered parking areas are enforced 7 days a week from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. The cost for most of these areas is $2.00 per hour. Time limits vary, please read the display on the kiosk or app for details. No parking permit is required at metered areas, but hourly rates must be paid. Vehicles with parking permits must pay hourly rates in metered parking areas.
