Transportation and Parking on Campus

The University does not provide door-to-door transportation for students with permanent or temporary disabilities or temporary injuries. There are several options available to students who may have difficulty physically navigating campus.

Students who have state-issue handicapped parking hangtags, or temporary medical parking hangtags, have access to additional parking spaces on campus, increasing the possibility of being able to park closer to classrooms and other campus locations. Information on state-issue handicapped parking hangtags and temporary medical parking hangtags can be found on the Department of Parking & Transportation’s website at: https://olemiss.edu/parking/ADA.html.

The Oxford University Transit (OUT) system is free for all students, faculty, and staff members at the University of Mississippi with a valid UM ID and is available for use by visitors for $1 per ride. There are several, circular campus routes that stop at multiple, on and off campus locations frequented by students. All shuttles are wheelchair accessible with wheelchair lifts or ramps. Information about the OUT system’s campus shuttle routes can be found here: https://www.outransit.com/university.

The OUT system also provides paratransit transportation services for riders with disabilities. All paratransit vehicles are wheelchair accessible. For information on the OUT Paratransit system, please visit the OUT website at: https://www.outransit.com/ or call 662-234-3540.

Those experiencing challenges with transportation and mobility issues on campus may want to consider renting mobility equipment such as wheelchairs, mobility scooters, knee scooters, etc. to assist with navigating campus. Below is a non-comprehensive list of regional medical supply companies that may rent mobility equipment. Please note, SDS has no relationship to any medical supply company and cannot guarantee the quality of services or that mobility equipment will be available for rental.

There are a number of taxi companies in Oxford that students can use to assist with transportation. The City of Oxford’s Visitor Center keeps a current list of licensed taxis companies serving the community.
