Parking Policies
Public Parking
Conference participants attending events at The Pyle Center and The Lowell Center may apply for reserved parking by submitting a Reserved Parking Request Form. Enrollees of programs handled by ECC Registrations Department will receive a request form along with their program confirmation. Program coordinators of small groups not registered by ECC Registrations Department may also wish to send parking reservation forms to participants. Request forms are available online (pdf), or by calling the Front Desk of The Pyle Center at (608) 262-1122.
Reserved Parking Request Forms should be completed and returned with payment at least 10 days before the event. Upon receipt by ECC, a parking permit will be mailed to the enrollee.
Reserved parking permits must be cancelled at least 24 hours in advance or clients are responsible for the parking fee.
Public Parking
Several parking garages, surface lots, and on-street parking spaces are located within a short walk of the Conference Centers. Most city and campus lots operate on a first-come, first-served basis, but some have limited visitor permits (see Reserved Parking above). More information.
Parking for Overnight Guests
Overnight guests staying at either The Lowell Center may receive complimentary parking (one car per guest room) upon request. Parking needs should be indicated when making room reservations.
Parking for Disabled Persons
Generally, drivers with State of Wisconsin disabled permits or DIS and VET plates may park in the disabled parking stalls near the conference centers (unless signs indicate UW disabled permits are required) and at the meters (if over 30 minutes) without paying an additional fee. Customers with special needs are encouraged to contact their program coordinator to make appropriate arrangements.
