About the Alternative Transportation Program
UGA Transportation & Parking Services encourages and supports the use of alternative forms of transportation such as walking, bicycling, carpooling, and using public transit. As an incentive to promote the ATP program, TPS provides free parking in designated locations for those who primarily use alternative transportation to access campus (not available to UGA residents).
Customers may qualify for an ATP permit, which allows deck parking on one or two days per month to use on rainy days or as otherwise needed. ATP participants are not eligible for a regular permit unless they are a carpool driver.
Designated locations include:
- E04 (East Campus Park Deck)
- E20 (PAC Deck)
- S15 (Carlton Street Deck)
- HSC (Health Science Campus Visitor Lot – Oglethorpe Ave)
Designated Facility Requirement
Participants must select one designated ATP parking location during enrollment. ATP usage is limited to the selected facility, and codes are not interchangeable between locations. The selected facility will remain in effect for the full program year.
Please log in to your parking account to sign up for the program.
Biking, Walking, and Buses
Those biking, walking, or riding an Athens Transit bus as their primary means of getting to campus will receive 22 days of free parking per year in designated locations (distributed 2 uses per month August – July).
Carpooling, Motorcycles, and Scooters
Carpool participants and those choosing to only use a motorcycle, moped, or scooter will receive 11 days of free parking per year in designated locations (distributed 1 use per month August – July).
