For students<\/a> at the University of North Texas, getting to class during the fall semester means planning around their own schedules and the Mean Green football <\/a>season. A new semester means crowded roads<\/a> flooded with incoming students, and when daily commuter traffic overlaps with home games it can create additional congestion around campus.\u00a0<\/p>\n Planning ahead can help students find the most convenient parking spaces, available shuttle routes and avoid unnecessary fines.\u00a0<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what transportation looks like at the main Mean Green campus in Denton.\u00a0<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n What transportation options are available at the University of North Texas?<\/p>\n A campus shuttle service, operated by the Denton County Transportation Authority, serves the main campus, off-campus housing and local businesses. The service has eight routes \u2014 Academic Circulator, Bernard Street, Colorado Express, Centre Place, Discovery Park, Daugherty Street, Eagle Point and North Texas \u2014 for the 2026 fall semester, and is free to anyone with a UNT ID.\u00a0<\/p>\n During the academic year, shuttles operate Monday through Friday, with some routes starting at 6:50 a.m. and ending after 11 p.m. Limited weekend and night services are available; however, students should check shuttle schedules ahead of time. No service is available on major holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas day and New Year\u2019s day.\u00a0<\/p>\n UNT<\/a> also provides a free Lyft ride to anyone on campus who may need a ride back to their car or resident hall between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m. Before checking out, riders can use code \u201cUNTFALL26\u201d to redeem their ride.\u00a0<\/p>\n Although there are no direct transportation links, the DCTA Denton MedPark Station is the closest to campus. The A-train connects to the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Green Line at Trinity Mills Station in Carrollton. From there, passengers can access DART\u2019s Red, Orange and Blue Lines and the Trinity Railway Express.\u00a0<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n Related: How to travel through North Texas using DART\u2019s rail system<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n Students may park at the station for free and ride the Colorado Express shuttle route to campus.\u00a0<\/p>\n What parking options are available at the main Denton campus?<\/p>\n With more than 100 lots and designated parking areas, the university provides approximately 16,000 spaces to visitors, students and faculty.\u00a0<\/p>\n It is important to check the lot signs and spaces prior to parking because some serve visitors, residents, commuters and faculty simultaneously. According to the university\u2019s transportation department, parking availability is not guaranteed even for those with a valid pass.\u00a0<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n The university offers a variety of parking passes to students and staff.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Eagle parking pass costs $275 annually, or $150 per semester, and is valid all day at any Eagle commuter lot. Evening passes, which cost $140 for the year, are valid from 3:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. and all weekend. Passholders can park in either Eagle or faculty lots.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
