The University of Michigan’s parking permit rates will increase by 4 percent for the fiscal year 2027 for all annual permit categories.
The increase in parking permit fees in fiscal year 2027 helps support the campus parking and transportation system including operations, maintenance, and debt service. It also supports alternative transportation options including the MRide and vanpool programs.
