UAB Transportation will continue to offer zone parking options. Please visit the interactive student parking map to note changes to various parking zones. Housing students will be able to purchase Zone A or Zone 7 dependent upon residence hall assignment, while Zone B through Zone G will be available to students not residing on campus. 

Blazer Express changing capacity guidelines on buses

Beginning June 1, Blazer Express will be increasing passenger limits up to seated capacity. The shift comes as the university continues its transition of employees back to campus.

“Our new seating limits allow for more efficient service for our passengers,” said André Davis, director of UAB Transportation. “We want our riders to be safe, so we have maintained increased measures related to masks and cleaning protocols.”
