Parking and Transportation Tips
By Car
Visitor parking on North Campus is limited. Payment booths accept both cash and card. We recommend you park in the metered visitor parking spaces across the street from the Ford Robotics Building. Please review alternative parking options, as this lot may become full.
Please make sure that you do not park in the "Blue Permit" or "Business" parking spaces, which are reserved for staff. An example of the visitor parking sign is included below.

By University Bus (Free)
University of Michigan buses are the easiest way to get around campus! There is no cost - Simply hop on and ride.
Many visitors prefer to park in a parking structure on Central Campus and hop on a blue Michigan bus to ride up to North Campus. It's only about two miles, and the bus ride can take up to 20 minutes during peak traffic times.
Campus Connector is the suggested route from Central Campus, which stops at Pierpont Commons. From there, both the Bursley-Baits and Northwood routes will take you to the Ford Robotics Building.
You can also track Michigan buses in real time using Magic Bus.
