Parking - There are a number of free parking spaces available in MTU but these fill up very quickly each morning. There is paid parking available on campus at a cost of €1 per entry. Your student ID card is required and needs to be in credit to access these parking areas. Remember, no credit means no entry! The knock on effect will be embarrassing for you as you will now be a cause of traffic jams and delays during rush hour on campus, by having to reverse back from the barrier. Students are encouraged to walk or take a bus where possible.
