Parking and Transportation Services
Welcome! Your University of Idaho Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) team is focused on keeping U of I moving. As we grow, it’s imperative that we become a campus where a personally owned vehicle is not required to meet commuter and campus resident mobility needs. Our beautiful Moscow community is easily traversed by most on foot or bicycle, and when you need to get around more quickly or go longer distances, alternative transportation options are available. Vandal Access Service provides Vandals with mobility-limiting disabilities access to facilities and programs on campus. If you choose to bring a car to campus, please understand that a permit will be required and availability of a specific permit type or parking location is not guaranteed.
We're here to help! If you have questions, contact us at 208-885-6424 or parking@uidaho.edu. Our office is open to the public. We're located on campus inside the Intermodal Transit Center, 1006 Railroad Street. PTS office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the academic year and 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. during academic breaks.
Parking Updates and Closures
Idaho Avenue, between Rayburn St. and the Kibbie Dome, will be closed starting Thursday, June 6. The construction area will be fenced off, resulting in vehicle and parking restrictions to the site for approximately 90 days. This project will widen Idaho Ave. slightly, re-grade the road to make the slop more gradual, install sidewalks and better define pedestrian access to the ICCU Arena. There are no parking restrictions anticipated in connection with this project. Questions about the project should be directed to facilities@uidaho.edu.
Silver lot 5, west of Theophilus Tower, will be closed starting Friday, June 7. A crane will be positioned in the lot to perform a short-term construction project on the roof of Theophilus Tower. The closure is expected to last approximately two weeks.
Closure of Gold lot 40, behind the Administration building. Starting Monday, May 13, through approximately October, Gold lot 40 will be CLOSED for parking. View a map of the closure here. The lot will be used as the base for a construction project to widen Campus Dr., add a sidewalk to the north side of road and calm traffic. Vandal Reserved spaces will still be available. Alternate parking locations to Gold lot 40 include:
- Gold lot 42, near the Niccolls building
- Gold lot 46 on Blake Ave.
- Gold lot 39 at Memorial Gym
Questions about the construction project should be directed to facilities@uidaho.edu.
