Night Parking Ban Begins


Michigan Tech’s Night Parking Ban goes into effect at midnight Tuesday (Oct. 31) and will remain in effect until April 30, 2024.

During the ban, parking is prohibited on campus from 2-7 a.m. except as follows:

  • Michigan Tech employees with shifts prior to 7 a.m. who have an assigned parking location (email parking@mtu.edu if you have not yet been assigned a location).
  • Occupants of University housing with a valid residential parking permit in their specified lot.
  • Visitors with purchased permits (Transportation Services will designate an assigned parking lot).

Individuals who need to request parking past 2 a.m. need to call Michigan Tech Public Safety and Police Services at 906-487-2216 that evening to be assigned a designated parking space. To request permission to remain parked on campus, you will need to provide the following to Public Safety:

  • Name
  • Reason for request
  • Campus location
  • Phone number
  • Vehicle information (license plate number and make, model and color)
  • Permit number

Those granted permission to park on campus after 2 a.m. will be assigned a parking spot in a designated parking lot or in one of the three designated meter areas (meters will need to be paid). Vehicles must be moved prior to 6 a.m. unless alternate arrangements have been given prior approval.

The parking ban will remain in effect regardless of the amount of snow on the ground.

Visitor Parking Permits: Permits can be purchased from Transportation Services Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. or on the Michigan Tech Parking Portal. Visitors can park overnight in Lot 24 (park on the south side of the lot in the parking spaces closest to Sharon Avenue). If arriving after 4 p.m., the overnight permit should be purchased for the next day’s date to allow for overnight parking.
