About Us

Managing traffic and parking on campus

It's our job to make sure traffic flows efficiently and to provide parking facilities for faculty, staff, students, and visitors on the Bloomington campus. As an auxiliary operation of IU, we do not receive state funding. All income generated by the sale of parking permits and citations is used for the administration, maintenance, and improvement of parking facilities on campus.
