Attention
Transportation Distribution Services Update
UCI Transportation & Distribution Services is working closely with campus leadership to align our services with local, state, and federal directives. To support containment and social distancing recommendations, several service adjustments will take place. T&DS will be evaluating our operations as the campus response to COVID-19 changes.
Parking Permit Refunds
Individuals who have an active prepaid parking permit with unused months will receive a refund from UCI Transportation on a prorated basis. You do not need to do anything to receive a partial refund of your parking permit as we will take care of this centrally. This process may take 10-15 business days to complete. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to serve the campus community.
Resident Parking During Move Out
To better serve our campus residents, parking during move-out is complimentary in your resident parking area. Loading zones may be used for a maximum of 20 minutes. Please do not leave your vehicle unattended for long periods of time. Overnight parking requires an overnight parking permit, available at a dispenser or kiosk. As always, please do not block roadways or emergency vehicle access.
Parking Facility Cleaning
Your safety is our priority. UCI Transportation has increased the frequency of cleanings in parking facilities including sanitizing permit dispensers, elevators, access keypads, railings, and other highly trafficked areas. We continue to closely monitor the campus directive and will provide information regarding any changes in operations as more information becomes available.
Medical Center Shuttle
The campus-to-campus medical center shuttle will remain in operation on a modified schedule. As you board the shuttle, show your UCI ID to the driver to verify that you are part of the UC Irvine community.
Sustainable Transportation Membership Update
UCI Transportation is working closely with our rideshare and transit partners so the campus community has reliable commuting options. Metrolink, Amtrak, and OCTA have taken on several proactive measures to help safeguard your health, including increasing the cleaning frequency of passenger cars and buses and applying enhanced anti-viral disinfectants on surfaces.
If you have any questions, please email Erika Hennon at ehennon@uci.edu.
Emergency Ride Home Program
Transportation Services offers an emergency ride home program from the main UCI campus. Faculty, staff and students may request service by contacting (949)824-VIPS. Restrictions apply.
UCI Passport Office Closed
The Passport Office located on North Campus is closed until further notice. Thank you for your patience as we work to support containment and social distancing recommendations.
For more information regarding the issuance of passports, please visit the U.S. Department of State website or call the National Passport Information Center at (877) 487-2778.
University Drive Widening Project
The City of Irvine began construction work on University Dr, between MacArthur Blvd and Campus Dr, to reduce traffic congestion for vehicles, bicyclists, & pedestrians. Once completed in Spring 2020, this project will widen University Drive with an additional traffic lane in each direction & add better facilities for pedestrians & bicyclists. To provide minimal impact to the campus, work will take place Monday-Friday, from 9 pm-5 am, with some additional work occurring from 9 am-3 pm.
For questions about the project, please email the City of Irvine at universitywidening@cityofirvine.org. Thank you for your patience as we support the City of Irvine during this construction project.
Parking Facility Construction
UCI Transportation continues to work with campus planners to meet the demands of our growing University. UCI is currently working with a qualified consultant to evaluate potential sites that will help advance the next phases of parking facility construction. As we continue through the process of developing our next parking facility, we will provide updates to the campus community.
Citations and the Appeal Process
In order to ensure the most efficient use of parking spaces on campus, UCI Transportation has established rules and regulations that are intended to enhance your safety, eliminate confusion while traveling or parking, and help you find the best way to deal with a parking citation. Our adjudication division will work with you to ensure that all citations are issued & resolved in a manner that follows state law & that allows you ample opportunity to file appeals.
