Welcome to the University of Waterloo. Transportation is a large part of our environmental footprint and is an integral component of the University’s Strategic Plan. An important part of fulfilling our commitment to engage in more sustainable practices is to determine the most responsible ways to manage the daily movement of tens of thousands of people to our campuses. University of Waterloo’s Sustainable Transportation unit continually strives to meet the ever-increasing demands of our growing community.
With approximately 7,888 parking spaces and 40 parking lots, we have many viable parking options for short-term and long-term parking. Our lots are comprised of permit only, visitor, and mixed-use lots for employees, students, and visitors.
If you need assistance, contact Sustainable Transportation at 519-888-4567, extension 33100, or visit our office in the General Services Complex (GSC 1101). Our office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
