The department reports to the Associate Vice Chancellor of Facilities Management and Planning, under the Vice Chancellor for Business and Financial Affairs. Parking and Mobility Services strives to provide equitable, quality service to the University community by providing timely, efficient and fair customer service. This goal is achieved by:

  • Courteous, fair and timely customer service

Policy

University of Denver Parking & Traffic Rules and Regulations are issued supplemental to all state laws and City and County ordinances. Under the authority of the Vice Chancellor for Business and Financial Affairs, the Department of Parking and Mobility Services is charged with managing, promoting and regulating the efficient and safe conduct of vehicular parking on University property.

Parking is limited on various parts of campus, thus this department has been authorized to manage the demand by formulating and enforcing parking rules and regulations, charging fees and fines, and otherwise regulating parking on campus.
