Ann Arbor Parking Access
Virtual Parking Permit Program | Ann Arbor Campus
Beginning July 1, 2025, the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor will transition to a license plate recognition system for parking. As a result of this change, UM-Flint parking permits will no longer be honored on the Ann Arbor campus. You will still have the option to park in Ann Arbor, but you will need to purchase a daily or annual parking permit through their updated system.
Additional virtual parking permit program information is available at License Plate Recognition – Frequently Asked Questions. Once the new permit system is active, detailed instructions will be posted here.
