Vehicle Parking

University Residences recommends arriving without a car the first quarter.

  • Western students receive a quarterly benefit code for free bus rides on the Whatcom Transportation Authority (WTA) public transit system.
  • A late-night shuttle to downtown and back to campus compliments the WTA schedule and is included in your bus pass benefit code.
  • Bicycle storage is provided throughout campus and within each residential community.
  • Do not park in reserved spots or fire lanes.

If you do bring a vehicle to campus visit Parking Services for information on Parking Permits.
