University Policy

Rationale/​Purpose:

University of Wisconsin–Madison emeriti, UW Systems–Madison emeriti, UW Colleges emeriti and UW Extension emeriti who are providing essential functions on campus have a number of transportation options to help them get to, from, and around campus.

Scope:

Emeriti.

Policy:

Options:

  • Ride Madison Metro (purchase an annual UW employee bus pass) and/or the fare-free campus bus system.
  • Park in a visitor garage and pay the hourly rate.
  • Park in a timed parking stall and pay the hourly rate.
  • Purchase a temporary daily (all day / half day) permit.
  • Purchase a monthly permit (valid for one month); availability varies.
  • Use an emeriti pass to park in visitor garages/ramps (pass is good for a maximum of 24 uses during the fiscal year—July 1 through June 30 of the following year). UW-Madison Transportation Services provides the pass; emeriti are limited to one pass per fiscal year.
    • The emeriti pass does NOT guarantee a stall if the visitor garage/ramp sign indicates the lot is “Full.” Pass not valid in lots staffed for special events.
  • Emeriti employed in any capacity by the UW may participate in the annual priority parking assignment system and purchase a base lot, Flex, UW DIS, or park & ride permit. Emeriti may also purchase a night, afternoon, motorcycle, or moped permit directly online.
  • Park in campus lots free to the public after 4:30 pm or all day Saturday/Sunday.

Departments may provide parking for emeriti who are volunteering or providing other services to the University.

  • Use a department limited permit when parked on campus (specific lot).
  • Park in a department reserved stall (as authorized by department).
  • Use a service permit to park in a signed service stall.
  • Use a validation: pull a ticket at the entrance to the garage and insert ticket and pass at exit. Department billed for parking. Parking not guaranteed if the visitor garage/ramp sign indicates the lot is “full.”
  • Use a value permit: department purchases pass in advance; use the value pass to enter and exit the parking garage. Parking is guaranteed with a value permit.
  • Authorized affiliates (UW Hospital/Medical Foundation, Wisconsin State Historical Society, Wisconsin Alumni Association, and UW Systems emeriti from all campuses other than Madison) may purchase/provide annual bus passes or visitor parking for/to emeriti or retired staff by calling UW-Madison UW-Madison Transportation Services in advance and ordering them. Permits are sold on a space available basis.
