Surface Parking
All street and surface parking lots on campus require a university permit 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Parking in these locations without a university or or paid permit, even for a short period of time, may result in a citation.
Pre-Paid Discount Event Parking
For major events in Bates Recital Hall, Parking & Transportation Services offers $6 pre-paid parking permits in Lot 53. Lot 53 is a 0.6 mile walk to MRH, about 13 minutes. Choose Bates Recital Hall or MRH as the venue when purchasing and a list of events will populate.
Same-Day Temporary Event Permits
Patrons can purchase a permit for any surface from a permit-dispensing machine located between Parking Lots 38 and 39 on Red River St., behind the Lyndon B. Johnson Library. Permits issued from this machine are valid for the event day only and for any UT surface parking spaces (with the exception of lots 38 & 40, permit parking designated F99 or O, and metered parking spaces).
Metered Parking
A limited amount of City-of-Austin metered parking is available along Dean Keeton Street near the intersection of Robert Dedman Drive. Meters are not enforced after 6 PM Monday through Saturday or all day Sunday.
