Access the UB Parking Finder to search for parking on campus, better understand parking rules, and make the best informed decisions.

We are excited to announce a new partnership with the University at Buffalo (UB), bringing advanced parking solutions to enhance campus mobility and convenience. With the introduction of Modii’s platform, members of the UB community can now easily locate parking spots, navigate parking rules, and make informed decisions with just a few taps on their phones.

This partnership aims to streamline UB’s parking operations, and to make it easier to manage and administer parking on campus. Part of Modii’s solution will also be utilized by drivers to find the best places to park on campus, personalized to their unique criteria.

University at Buffalo

Located in Buffalo, New York, UB is a premier, research-intensive public university, and is New York’s flagship.  With over 30,000 students, efficient parking solutions are essential. UB’s partnership with Modii now leverages innovative technologies to enhance the campus experience for all members of the UB community.

Streamlined Parking Administration

UB’s parking administrators now have access to a centralized system that integrates all parking-related data into a single, easy-to-use platform. This system allows for updates and management of parking spaces, enabling administrators to utilize parking resources more effectively. By forecasting parking demand and remotely adjusting parking rules to accommodate, parking administrators are prepared for any changes on campus, such as construction or sports events.

Enhanced Driver Experience

For campus drivers, the UB Parking Finder offers a user-friendly interface to find available parking based on permit type and time of day. The web app provides estimated parking availability in various parking lots, helping users save time and reduce stress. Drivers will also receive notifications about any changes in parking due to special events, ensuring they are always well-informed. This fall, the UB Parking Finder will also introduce a new shuttle feature to accommodate community members that prefer alternate modes of transportation.

The Future of Campus Parking

Modii's partnership with the University at Buffalo is a shining example of what happens when innovative technology meets the real needs of a campus community. Gone are the days of endlessly circling for a spot, wasting precious time and fuel. With Modii's solutions, UB drivers can now navigate parking with confidence.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Modii is on a mission to modernize campus parking everywhere. By partnering with leading universities across the country, we're working to create a seamless parking experience that benefits everyone – students, faculty, staff and visitors. Imagine a future where students know exactly where to park based on their permits, faculty and staff are able to efficiently navigate their workday and visitors arrive to campus events on time and seamlessly.
