More on ParkMobile

A limited number of spaces on campus are designated as timed parking and intended for short term parking only. These spaces are designated by signs and/or paint on the curb/space which indicates the period of time someone may park in the space. No permit is required to park in the timed spaces except in Lot 104. The time limit is strictly enforced.

Temporary parking permits for surface lots are available on a limited basis. The issue of a temporary surface lot permit is contingent upon space availability as determined by Transportation Services. Individuals who do not have a current parking permit and who need to park on campus temporarily may purchase a temporary permit online. These permits are not valid at the Texas A&M Health Science Center.

Visitors to the Texas A&M University campus are always welcome. Transportation Services has provided parking accommodations for visitors in locations listed on this page. The fee for parking in these areas is posted at the entrance to each parking facility. If parking is not available in one of these areas or if special arrangements are needed, please call Transportation Services at 979.862.7275 (PARK).

University affiliates who park on campus are required to purchase a permit, therefore, we ask visitors to refrain from parking in areas designated for faculty, staff and students, unless prior arrangements are made through Transportation Services.

Using campus parking facilities for any purpose other than what they are intended is prohibited. No recreational activity may occur within parking lots or garages, including stairwells, without prior authorization from Transportation Services.

Violators are subject to ticketing, booting and/or towing. Faculty, staff and students are responsible for any citations that are issued to visiting family members. Should a relative of Texas A&M University faculty, staff or students receive parking citations, Transportation Services has the authority to bill the citations to the University's affiliate.

Transportation Services reserves the right of refusal for any activity. For questions, please contact Customer Assistance at 979.862.7275 (PARK) or email parking@tamu.edu.
