August 2025 Transportation and Parking Updates

As we prepare for the return of our students, faculty, and staff we have some updates that will impact the UVM community.

Summer Parking 

Regular campus parking regulations will be in full effect beginning Monday, August 18, 2025. Residential student lots will not be available for employee permit parking. You may refer to our website for the locations in which your permit is valid. 

 

Move-in Lot Closures 

During the week of August 18th there will be a number of lot closures as we prepare to welcome our students to campus. Set-up will begin on Monday, August 18th with lot closures in Harris-Millis and Marsh-Austin-Tupper. 

The lots listed below will be closed on Wednesday, August 20, Thursday, August 21, and Sunday, August 24. 

Vehicles parked in these lots after midnight on the closure dates may be subject to towing at the owner’s expense:

The Jeffords East Lower Lot will be available for any employee permit on those days. Lot locations can be found on our interactive campus map. Anyone who needs on-campus ADA accessible parking may continue to access their regular worksite ADA spaces including those in the closed lots. Traffic and parking in Burlington and on the UVM campus will be congested on these days. Employees are encouraged to telecommute or utilize alternative commuting options

 

Move-In Shuttle Detour

The CATSBus On-Campus Route will operate a detoured route Wednesday and Thursday August 20 & 21, 2025, 7:30AM - 4:00PM due to student move-in. Because traffic congestion will make it challenging to predict route timing, please use our CATS Bus app to track the shuttle in real-time. 

Thank you for your understanding as we welcome students and get them settled in.

CATSRide Shuttle 

The CATSRide shuttle is available to transport UVM employees within a ten-mile radius of campus from university owned locations that our CATSBus shuttle service does not cover, including Bio Research and Colchester Research facility. It operates Monday-Friday 6:30 AM - 4:30 PM. Employees can schedule a single trip or regularly recurring ride by contacting CATSRide via email: catsride@uvm.edu or phone: (802) 233-2594 at least 24 business hours before your trip. This service may be useful to employees who take advantage of UVM’s free bus fares benefit and commute via GMT bus.  

Please contact Transportation and Parking Services with any questions regarding these updates via email: parking@uvm.edu or phone: (802)656-8686.
