Parking and Transportation at CPH

Parking

Short-term, mobile payment zones are available at the College of Public Health Building. Mobile payment zones require patrons to have the ParkMobile payment app. Download ParkMobile for iOS here, and download ParkMobile for Android here. Due to the limited number of spaces available, it is recommended to direct guests to park in the Newton Road Parking Ramp and take the pedestrian bridge over Highway 6 to the College of Public Health Building.

Newton Road Parking Passes

Departments wishing to provide parking passes to visitors can purchase them in increments of 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 or 10 hours at $1.20 per hour. To request passes, departments should initiate an interdepartmental requisition to UI Parking. If you are purchasing these in bulk to have on-hand, please ensure you coordinate with your departmental administrator as parking passes are considered cash equivalents, requiring a cash handling policy.

Reserving a Parking Space

Departments wishing to reserve a parking space outside the College of Public Health Building must route their request to the college for approval.  The cost to reserve a space is currently $22 per day per space. The reserved spaces are marked with a sign by the Parking and Transportation Department the morning of the date of your request and the sign is left for the entire day. Given our limited number of short-term parking spaces, we try to limit the number of reserved spaces at any one time.

All requests should be e-mailed to cph-facilities@uiowa.edu and include the following information:

  • Account to charge
  • Name of individual who will be using the spot
  • Why a reserved space is preferred over a Newton Road Ramp pass

Faculty/Staff/Student Temporary Parking

If faculty/staff/students require temporary accessible parking due to a disability, please have them contact UI Parking and Transportation. Generally, “Y1” parking spots are only approved after Parking and Transportation has explored all other alternatives.

Transportation

The university offers free on-campus accessible Cambus transit service and is available to University of Iowa employees and students. Cambus also offers the Bionic Bus, which provides door-to-door, demand-response service provided with lift-equipped mini-buses.
