Comments

The first few years I went to UAB it wasn’t terrible. There was definitely fighting over parking spaces but if you timed things correctly then it wouldn’t be that bad. The last 2 years have been a disaster on their part though. With the closure of lots, they have essentially made it impossible to get parking unless you get to class an hour early and if you have a job and family like I do then it makes it extremely difficult to even be able to park. This particular semester I did not buy a pass because I am only here for one semester and I would have had to pay $240 for a full year pass to a lot that is nowhere near my classes, which in previous years I was able to buy a half year pass (usually around the price of $70) and I could park in most any lot that had space instead of being restricted to a specific zone. It is already expensive to pay for books and tuition, and I understand that people need to be paid but the inflation from these people have gotten ridiculous. From the inflation of the initial price of the parking pass, to the actual price per parking ticket, and to the additional charges if you do not pay them right away makes people who struggle with money have so much difficulty being able to afford it all. My first semester back in 2013 I paid $130 for a full year parking pass and that has almost doubled and the restrictions of where I am able to park are ridiculously narrow despite the higher price. I believe when I started going here the price was $5 a ticket but now it is $25 and just goes up almost weekly. The zoning system with the lots is complete garbage compared to the previous general parking pass because you are lucky if the lot you get is anywhere close to where you need them to be and the “solution” of the busses is an absolute joke. Last year I was stuck with a lot on the other side of the interstate where if I had to walk back to my car I would be going under a bridge and there has in fact been times I was confronted by a homeless man that was being confrontational and because of UAB’s poor planning I couldn’t even attempt to stay safe. There are no help beacons on that route and the only one that I see is on the other side of a fence that I would have to hop to even use. Arguably though, there are always ways around being screwed with lot location but with how much things changed from years before, this time around it caught me off guard along with so many other students. Price and lot vacancy is not my main issue though, that is just something that needs to be out there for future students to see. What also makes them pretty terrible is their bus system and the total attitude of most of their employees. More times than not I get incredibly rude people to talk to in the office and on the phone that I could care less for. I understand that people probably don’t always talk with manners to them but it does not mean that you can’t be at least polite to the people who are not causing problems. The bus drivers are hit or miss. Occasionally I will have someone that is nice and pleasant but most of the times I have people with bad attitudes or people that are too busy chatting with coworkers. On some occasions the people are chatting for so long that they have made me late for class. There have been times that the bus stopped running earlier than it should leaving me to walk in the dark after hours which I am very much not comfortable with. I normally had to attempt to leave class early to ensure that I had a ride and I pay way too much for these classes to be missing them over busses that are run through the college and should know when the last classes of the day runs through. I have had drivers that drove absolutely recklessly, cutting people off and taking corners fast where it was slinging the people in the bus. I even had one lady that had her phone out watching tv while driving the bus.
Overall UAB transportation sucks and I will be glad to graduate and be free from the terrible system they created.

Dear UAB Transportation,
When I paid over $200 for a parking place in zone f I expect a parking spot to be in zone f for me. I was not running late this morning until I had to find zone c on the other side of 65, a place that I do not feel safe walking to class from. I tried calling to discuss my concerns but y’all are not taking calls right now so I’ll just leave this here for everyone else to see too

Why does zone G not come up as an option for zone passes for me to purchase? I was only given options for a few of the zones listed online.

At the fall meeting with graduate students, I requested access to the study used to inform parking decisions. Mr Davis said he would get back to us on this as it contained "proprietary information." Has there been any further information on this? I have not heard anything - where should I be watching for updates on this?

So parking can limit how many people get Zone A but everybody can buy Lot 15 passes. Lot 15 is completely full while zone A has probably over 200 spots available right now that we are not allowed to park in. This Zone A used to be Lot 15. It is dumb that we are paying for parking but yet we can't find parking and y'all have over 200 spots available right now at Zone A parking deck.

I have more pictures but it will only let me upload one at a time.

Hi, I purchased a Zone C parking pass and was wondering where I should park under the circumstance that my zone is full? I ask because I notice that the website says that if a Zone A or B student doesn't have anywhere to park then they are allowed to park in zone C. With this zone being a very small lot my area could potentially become flooded due to insufficient parking or inefficient students that "can't find a spot" thanks for any help.

Hey guys - this is how bad parking is affecting UAB - a current Jeff State student who will be transferring to a 4 year University posted this in response to a comment on my page. (I missed a class because of parking problems)

06:45 on a Friday - Lot 15X,W are mostly full. This seems a significant change from last year. Anyone have a why? Also, is 15X resident parking or not this year?

So after paying $225 for a parking permit which has yet to arrive we find ourselves riding a bus to class because had to park at the transportation office. Refund?

UAB parking is a nightmare. They way oversold every lot and there is no where to park on campus. These changes they made were a terrible idea and now us students are paying the price. We spend our money buying parking passes and then we are forced to park on the street because there is no where to park.

Be aware that students are moving in to residence halls over the next few days and it will increase traffic around UAB.

We also recommend taking an alternate route to work during this time. For more information on routes and move-in congestion, visit this link: https://buff.ly/3DSUMj7
