You don’t need a campus parking permit to have easy access to your car! Park for free at the Wickford Junction Garage (20 minutes away).  All students have access to purchase discounted RIPTA passes at 50% off, available for purchase at the Campus Store, in the Lower levels in the Memorial Union.

First-year students living on campus are not eligible to purchase a resident parking permit to park their vehicle on campus, however students can use off campus satellite parking options which are available to all of our students.

Parking is enforced 24/7 and all vehicles must have an active permit and park in their designated lots AT ALL TIMES except Friday 5pm- Sunday 5pm in KEANEY LOT ONLY.  Parking will be strongly enforced in all other lots during these times.  Students may occasionally purchase a ‘day pass’ for one-day on-campus parking for Keaney Lot only.

Residents who obtain a parking permit by providing falsified information, as well as students who attempt to purchase a permit for another student, will have future parking privileges revoked and may face judicial action. 

On-Campus Resident and Greek and Special parking availability is limited and is offered on a first-come first-served basis. Resident parking lots are marked in blue on the Kingston campus map.

Your License Plate Is Your Parking Permit

URI uses license plate recognition to verify registered vehicles. Please park with your license plate facing outward, and be sure that it isn’t obstructed by license plate covers, stickers, or debris. It is imperative to keep your license plate updated to avoid receiving a ticket. 

If you have a symbol in your plate, enter the plate number without the symbol. For disabled license plates, enter “DV” or “DP” before the plate number. For example: DPSAMPLE

• any ADA space on campus
• any regular, non-reserved space in any student lot

The state-issued placard should be displayed from your rearview mirror.

Temporary Parking Accommodations

Please note that neither the URI Transportation and Parking office, nor the Office of Human Resources Administration, nor the Office of Disability, Access, and Inclusion can allow or provide access to the public accessible parking spaces on campus. Only your state’s department/registry of motor vehicles can provide disability placards, which when paired with a URI guest pass allow parking in accessible parking areas. If you have a disability placard, please contact our office to add it to your guest pass. With a
placard assigned to you and a valid URI permit or pass, you can park in any accessible parking space on campus. For additional information about state-issued Disability Placards, visit this website.

Qualified individuals with disabilities with specific parking needs that may not be met by access to public ADA-compliant parking spaces must engage in the interactive process by contacting one of the divisions below:
