Thank you for your interest in our department and all things parking and transit-related at UNT! You can also find the latest news and information on our Facebook or Instagram pages.
Parking permits for the 2026–27 academic year are now on sale, giving students, faculty and staff the opportunity to secure parking before the fall semester begins. Permits became available for purchase on June 15 through the Transportation Services parking portal.
One of the biggest changes this year is the transition to virtual parking permits. Instead of displaying a physical hangtag or decal, permits are now linked directly to a vehicle's license plate. This streamlined system makes managing permits more convenient while helping improve parking enforcement across campus. Permit holders should ensure their vehicle's license plate information is accurate in their parking account before parking on campus.
Another important update affects those who park at UNT at Frisco. Beginning this year, designated Frisco permits are no longer available. Students, faculty and staff who park at the Frisco Landing campus should purchase the same permit they would use for the Denton campus based on their eligibility. This change simplifies the permit process while providing the same parking access at UNT at Frisco.
Transportation Services encourages the campus community to purchase permits early and review permit options to ensure they select the one that best fits their parking needs. Drivers are also encouraged to opt in to text message notifications during the permit purchase process to receive important updates about parking impacts, lot closures and special events throughout the year.
To purchase a permit or learn more about parking options, visit the Transportation Services parking portal.
UNT Transportation Services and Housing will conduct our annual bike and scooter round-up starting May 12, with a more expedited approach than in previous years.
This year’s process will function as a rapid campus-wide sweep rather than the traditional tagging period. Due to multiple summer housing projects, the goal is to clear bikes and scooters efficiently without the usual two-week notice window. Teams will begin at a residence hall and move systematically across campus, documenting and tagging items before loading them onto trailers. Once full, items will be transported to the West Warehouse, where they will be stored temporarily.
Although devices will not be taken directly to surplus, they will be held at the warehouse to allow owners an opportunity to reclaim them. Students will need to provide proof of ownership, such as serial number, receipt/proof of purchase, or other identifying information, to retrieve their property. Items that remain unclaimed will eventually be transferred to surplus at a later date.
Operations will begin at 7:00 a.m., with an emphasis on morning work to account for rising temperatures. Additional staff will remain available to handle essential services during the process.
Students who cannot locate their bike or scooter after move-out are encouraged to contact the Transportation Services office, as it may have been collected during the round-up.
