Transportation Alternatives

Due to an ongoing concern with parking at the University of St. Thomas, alternative methods of transportation are encouraged to ease parking.  Here are a few things St. Thomas employees and students can do to help prevent parking problems and to aid in resolving problems:

• Make a definite effort to carpool whenever possible.  Check out the car pool board, located by the lounge on the first floor of Murray-Herrick Campus Center.
• Sign up for a St. Paul Rideshare Permit at Public Safety:

o  Premium parking spots are set-aside for participants in lots G and H.

o  Two or more people (limit of 8) with a valid UST parking permit may apply for the free Rideshare permit

• Use the city bus system, Metro Transit.  Call (612)349-7000 for information on bus schedules.  Monthly discount passes are available at Public Safety and Parking Services and at the Bookstore.  Check out reduced price information on our website.
• Minnesota Rideshare information is available in Murray-Herrick and in the Public Safety Department.  To connect with the Rideshare program, call (612) 349-RIDE.
• Walk to campus if you live nearby.  Escorts are available within 6 blocks of campus in St. Paul and 1 block in Minneapolis.
• Bike to campus.  Bike racks are located throughout campus.
