Parking & Access Control Services
UBC Parking Services is an ancillary business of the University of British Columbia and the largest university parking operation in Canada. The core purpose of Parking Services is to:
- Balance supply and demand of parking on campus by providing parking facilities and services for all users including students, faculty, staff, and visitors;
- Ensure parking facilities, services and equipment are functional, accessible and easy to use;
- Ensure long-term financial viability and sustainability for the business, including the development and maintenance of facilities and physical assets.
Parking Services' goals and strategies support the University's TREK 2000 vision. Accordingly, we are proud to be recognized as leaders in both public and private sectors for introducing automation and technology to the parking industry.
Parking Services supports university activities and events by providing parking facilities and developing business partnerships with the university community. Major community contributions include funding provided to the UBC Transportation Planning Program, Campus Security, Shuttle Bus Services, the University Centre, and Student Scholarships and Convocation.
Parking Services provides parking options to the UBC community and its visitors in support of the University's goals. Parking facilities will be updated and services shall be enhanced to provide the community with improved access to campus parking.
