ACCESSIBLE PARKING

Accessible parking is available in parking lots and structures in downtown Ann Arbor. The accessible spaces are signed and marked. A valid, state-issued placard or license plate must be properly displayed while parked.

As you read the following information, you will notice that our downtown parking options are operated by two different entities: the Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority (DDA), and the University of Michigan (UM). Specifics regarding each operator can be found at the bottom of the page.
