UH Mānoa’s Parking Regulations are in place to ensure the safety and convenience of our campus community. All individuals who drive and/or park on campus must observe these rules at all times. Vehicles in violation will be subject to citation and fines and/or towing.
List of 12 Regulations *:
- UHM Parking Regulations are in effect 24 hours daily throughout the year.
