Is there a need for another ramp?
There are over 500 individuals on the wait list to secure a parking permit. The southwest area of campus has significant demand for parking as it serves a vibrant part of campus. Future proposed construction on campus will likely lead to a loss of existing surface lot parking.

What is UWL doing to encourage alternative transportation to campus?
All students can ride the MTU at no charge by showing their campus ID. Employees and retirees can purchase a discounted MTU pass at the Cashier’s Office. Parking Services promotes local and regional bus ridership, biking, and walking at all START (freshmen registration) days, at Admitted Student and Transfer Student days, via our website, through emails, and on campus video display boards. Other offices on campus also promote sustainability and champion alternative transportation.
