Parking rates at med center largely remain steady

For the sixth consecutive year, UNMC and Nebraska Medicine faculty, staff and students will not see an across-the-board parking rate increase for the upcoming fiscal year. Rates will increase, as scheduled, in two of the med center’s 50 lots.

“In a time of inflation, UNMC and Nebraska Medicine have taken this into consideration and will not 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 their schedules and pocketbooks.”  

Although most will not incur a rate change, two campus lots have been on an increase schedule to create equity with similar lots; permit holders in these lots will be notified individually, Zajac said. Overall, there has not been a campuswide increase in parking rates since fiscal year 2018, she said.

Permit holders are reminded that parking fees do not generate revenue for the med 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.

Colleagues who park on UNMC’s Omaha campus or the Nebraska Medical Center campus will need to renew their permit soon. Beginning Monday, May 1, the UNMC Parking Portal will be open for parking permit renewal or purchase.
