The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa provides visitors with a variety of parking locations within walking distance to any campus destination. As part of our institutional commitment to environmental sustainability, we would also like to encourage you to consider alternatives to driving to UH Mānoa alone. Please see the pages under Alternative Transportation for other commuting suggestions.
No charge for parking in all zones on Saturdays, Sundays, and State Holidays. Athletic and special events do have parking fees in the evenings, weekends and holidays (except UH Mānoa graduation). Permit regulations are enforced 24/7 in Zones 8, 19, and 21. If you are attending an event, please check with your event coordinator to confirm parking arrangements.
Special instructions for delivery, vendor services, consultants, and contractors.
