Parking

There is metered parking available on the streets surrounding the Michigan Union; however, it is limited and fills up quickly during the school year. There is also a visitor lot at 400 Thompson Street (about a block away from the Union), as well as a public parking structure at 324 Maynard Street, about 3 blocks from the Union. Additional parking information can be found on the Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority’s Parking Page.

In addition, the University of Michigan provides a free bus service available to the public. If you see a big blue bus with a yellow “M” on the side, you can hop on and ride for free! More information can be found on the UM Transportation Services site.
