Residence Life Parking Permits
Most Vandals living on campus leave their personal vehicle at home and use alternative transportation to get across campus and around town. Our campus and downtown Moscow fit within a two-mile diameter circle, making our community very walkable, bike-able and boardable. SMART Transit fixed route buses are free for all users, reach most locations around Moscow and have eight stops on campus. SMART Transit buses operate 6:40 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Friday.
Vandals with temporary or permanent mobility-limiting disabilities or conditions can take advantage of our free Vandal Access Service to get wherever you need to go on campus Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. during fall and spring academic sessions.
Getting home on breaks is easy on the Vandal Break Bus or using regional transit such as buses or flights through nearby airports.
For all parking and transportation information, please visit uidaho.edu/parking. Contact PTS with questions at parking@uidaho.edu or 208-885-6424.
