LAWRENCE — In preparation for the World Cup this summer, the University of Kansas will require a valid parking permit for all Lawrence campus lots, including those zoned for housing. Overnight parking on campus will also require a valid permit.

In previous summers, KU had opened its green zone lots, which are housing lots used by students living on campus. From June 1 through July 24, a valid KU parking permit will be required for green lots. Accommodations will be made for summer camp participants and their families.

Additionally, from June 11 to July 13, lot 300 sections A-D and lot 302 will be available for public parking for a fee of $10 per vehicle via the HONK app. These lots are in the Lawrence campus West District, next to the Lied Center and south of Becker Drive, respectively. A shuttle will run every 15 minutes from these lots to the Lawrence Transit Central Station at Bob Billings and Crestline Drive, which will connect to KC2026 routes within the city and region.

KU has ensured that parking will continue to be available in lots 300 and 302 for those with valid KU permits. Permit holders will not need to pay an additional fee to use these lots during this time.

Additional information can be found on the KU parking website.
