Student permits are virtual, so students do not receive a hangtag, and the student permit price is $239 for fall only (uab.edu/transportation/parking/students-parking). The campus address is 1720 University Boulevard, 1.5 miles from Birmingham center. UAB Transportation provides information on parking and getting around campus, including permit options and zone parking options (uab.edu/transportation/). The university’s parking information is separate from UAB Medicine’s visitor parking rates, which apply to patient and non-patient hospital parking rather than general campus parking. ## The Busiest Parking Periods Around the UAB Campus Campus parking is most constrained when students need access to UAB parking areas during the fall term, when the student permit listed by UAB Transportation applies (uab.edu/transportation/parking/students-parking). A permit is required for students using those areas, so term-time demand is concentrated around the university rather than spread evenly through the year. UAB Transportation publishes parking and getting-around-campus information for drivers, while the supplied local listings identify a UAB parking lot on 6th Avenue (mapquest.com). The surrounding streets should therefore be treated as an active university parking area during campus activity, with parking access governed by posted restrictions and the university’s permit system. Show map of Birmingham ## Parksy Spaces Close to the UAB Campus For students or staff who want a lower-cost daily option outside the permit system, Parksy lists an outdoor lot at 1717 6th Ave. N., 0.4 miles away, for $5 a day. A second listing at the same address is also an outdoor lot 0.4 miles away for $5 a day. These spaces suit longer campus visits better than hourly parking. Visitors heading to the campus can choose covered parking in Five Points South, 0.7 miles away, for $4 a day. For shorter appointments, Parksy lists a lot 1.0 mile away for $5 an hour and a garage space 1.0 mile away for $6 an hour. ## Other Birmingham Parking Near Campus UAB Medicine publishes separate parking rates for hospital visitors. The charge is $2 for 0 to 1 hour, followed by $1 for each additional hour; the daily maximum is $6 for patients and $20 for non-patients (uabmedicine.org/plan-your-visit/visiting-a-patient/parking-rates/). Valet parking is available at UAB Medicine (uabmedicine.org/plan-your-visit/visiting-a-patient/parking-rates/). Those hospital rates are useful for a medical appointment or visit, but they are not the student permit price and do not describe general university parking. Drivers visiting a lecture, office, or campus facility should use the university’s transportation and permit information rather than assuming the hospital tariff applies. ## Birmingham Station Access to the UAB Campus The nearest listed station is Birmingham, 0.9 miles from the campus and an 18-minute walk. The campus is in Birmingham, Alabama, and sits 1.5 miles from Birmingham center. Drivers using a Parksy space farther from the university can combine parking with a walk across the central area, while rail passengers can continue on foot from Birmingham station without needing a campus permit.
