Driving to Mānoa

If you plan to drive to UH Mānoa, you’ll find on this site information on daily or permit (long-term) parking. Please allow enough time for your commute (especially during the morning rush hour) and be aware that the Lower Campus and Dole Street Parking Structures are often full by 8:00am on weekdays when the University is in session. Follow us on Twitter (@CommuteUHM) for updates on temporary lot closures and where to find spaces on campus.

As part of its commitment to environmental sustainability, the University of Hawaiʻi has recently established electric vehicle parking information and other programs to encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation:
