Parking rates for UNMC and Nebraska Medicine faculty, staff and students will not increase for the upcoming fiscal year for 48 of 50 lots. Review parking options and monthly rates on this map.
"In a time of inflation, UNMC and Nebraska Medicine have taken this into consideration and agreed not to raise parking rates for employees and students," said Victoria Zajac, director of Auxiliary Services. "In addition to TravelSmart, we provide a variety of parking options that enable individuals to select what works best for them."
Although most motorists will not incur a rate change, there are two campus lots that have been on an increase schedule to create equity with similar lots; those permit holders will be notified individually, Zajac said.
Permit holders are reminded that parking fees do not generate revenue for the medical center. Fees cover such annual operating expenses as ongoing repairs and maintenance of lots. They also cover land purchases, snow removal, security and enforcement, equipment, lot improvements and administrative costs.
As a Lot 36 parker, a rate increase from $36 to $85 is ludicrous. Parking on campus has become inconvenient and a financial drain.
