General Parking Information

Take the hassle out of navigating traffic and campus streets by mapping out your STEM Girl Day transportation plan in advance. See the Google Map of STEM Girl Day for location information. Find the information below to help you plan your trip to campus:

• Capital Metro: take public transportation for free – see below!
• Parking Garages: 3 free garages and other paid public parking available for cars only
• Bus Loading and Unloading: don't cause a traffic jam; navigate to an easy, safe, and close unloading area. Buses are not allowed to load or unload on Dean Keeton or Speedway as this creates safety issues and traffic jams
• Directions: find directions to campus
• See Visitor Information on the UT Austin Parking and Transportation website for additional parking information

Bus parking is NOT available on campus.

Contact wistem@utexas.edu with questions.

Free Park & Ride Options

While finding parking on UT’s Campus can be a challenge, finding a transit line that gets you there is easy! Try transit to and from UT’s campus.

CapMetro is also providing 1,000 attendees with a FREE bus and/or train day-pass for this event. Register to attend STEM Girl Day by February 22 to get access to FREE digital bus and train passes from CapMetro to STEM Girl Day.  Even if you don’t sign up in time, CapMetro costs less than covered parking (but register by February 21 and sign up for the free bus/train pass and it will be FREE!) and you’ll avoid circling the area looking for a spot. Check out the Trip Planning website with this CapMetro Trip Planner link.

Bus passes can ONLY be distributed through our NEW CapMetro app, please make sure you have that downloaded in order to receive your pass.

*Note: Kids under 18 ALWAYS ride CapMetro busses and trains for FREE! You do not need to register for free transit passes for children under 18.*

Transit Routes: 1, 3, 7, 10, 18, 20, 30, 801, & 803 will get you there!

Partnering with BCycle, CapMetro has added MetroBike to the family! To reserve your MetroBike, we recommend downloading both the Cap Metro App & BCycle app so that you can choose from the widest variety of bike passes and on-the-go reservation information.

Bus Parking Request

Bus parking is NOT available on campus.

Bus parking is NOT guaranteed unless you receive a detailed parking assignment.

You should expect communication about bus parking by Friday, February 9, 2024.
