Check the UNC Transportation & Parking website for visitor parking information.

Visitors displaying an official state-issued disability designation may park in the spaces reserved for those with such permits (note the spaces in this map marked V for Visitor). There are three of these spaces on Lenoir and Davis Drives adjacent to Davis Library and one space behind the library near the ATM machines on Raleigh Road. Please note that these permits do not allow parking in the UNC Disability Permit parking spots.
