As of 1 October, the rates for paid parking at the Utrecht Science Park (USP) will be uniformed. Patients and visitors of the UMC Utrecht are already paying 1.80 euros per hour. This rate will be introduced elsewhere too. The rate for the P+R parking garage remains unchanged: 4.84 per day (5 euros including public transport).

Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ (UU), Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ Medical Centre (UMCU) and Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ (HU) have already decided on a joint mobility policy to improve accessibility and quality of life at the Utrecht Science Park. It was also agreed to standardise parking fees. This is now being implemented.

Every day, more than 70,000 people travel to the Utrecht Science Park (USP) to learn, work, research, develop and provide care. And this number will only increase. During peak times, the roads are becoming congested and it takes a lot of time to reach or leave the USP. In addition, CO2 emissions are increasing.

A situation that needs to be addressed. In line with the ambition document for the USP, the organisations and companies want to establish a healthy USP and encourage people to use bicycles and public transport. The possibilities for this will improve as soon as the tram starts to run.

UMC Utrecht has already adjusted the parking fees in its parking garages and on its premises. As of 1 October, the parking areas of UU and HU will follow. For organisations with their own parking facilities or parking subscriptions for one or more parking lots at the USP, nothing will change.

What will change?

Current situation until 1 October 2019

Situation as of 1 October 2019

Reduced rates for HU and UU employees

Employees of the UU and HU are subject to an employee parking policy. Employees are informed separately about the changes in the rates and the parking policy for employees.

Suppliers

The current agreements in force at the various institutions with regard to access and parking for suppliers will be maintained for the time being.
