Parking
Free parking is hard to come by on and around the UNL City Campus. Most of the "secret free spots" have been removed. All City Campus parking lots require a permit, so visitors must use metered parking. On Saturdays, the City Campus meters are enforced 7:00 am - 12:00 pm and the City meters are enforced 7:00 am - 6:00 pm. Also, some parking lots and garages set the daily max at $5.00 (see the rates for all parking areas here).UNL and the City of Lincoln offer Passport Parking, a pay-by-cell service at designated parking spaces. With Passport, users securely pay for meter parkig with a smartphone app. Users receive reminders and can add time to their meter from anywhere with a smartphone app or on the web.
Public Transportations
If you need to use a public transportation within Lincoln and between cities, here are some options.
- StarTran Bus Service: Cash fare is $1.75. There are apps for real-tie bus tracking and purchasing StarTran passes.
- Nebraska Transit website: Here are some lists of inter-city transportation services. If you don't want to drive to Lincoln, this may be a possibility.
