Green Garage residents are able to obtain Wayne State University parking cards through the GG and use them to access several nearby lots on a pay-per-swipe basis. See the FAQ below for more information.

How do I obtain a parking card?

See Matt.

How much does it cost?

The initial setup fee is $50, which includes a $20 card activation fee and $30 in parking money pre-loaded onto the card. We will withdraw the setup funds from your account on record upon receiving your authorization.

The per-swipe parking fee varies by lot. See this rate chart for a list of all accessible lots and the fee per lot. Look in the blue OneCard Debit Non-Student column under Non-Student on the right for rates applicable to GG residents.

Lots 70, 71, and 72 are the most affordable nearby lots, at $1.75/swipe.

Where can I park?

See rate chart above for a campus-wide list of lots. The closest to the Green Garage are lots 70, 71, and 72, at $1.75/swipe, and lot 60 at $6.50/swipe. See map at right: 70, 71, and 72 are outlined in green. 60 is immediately northwest.

How do I load money onto my card?

You have three options:

  • Physically go to a WSU OneCard machine and make a cash deposit (the closest is in University Tower on Cass, accessible during business hours; here is a complete list of locations). Machines take $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills and do not give change.
  • Physically visit the OneCard Service Center in Suite 257 of the WSU Welcome Center (Warren & Woodward) and pay by check.
  • Mail a check to the OneCard office, including a note with your name, parking card number(s), phone number & email address. Checks should be made out to Wayne State University and mailed to:
OneCard Service Center
Welcome Center, Suite 257
42 W. Warren
Detroit, MI 48201

Please note that card balances cannot exceed $500 and are non-refundable.

How do I check the balance on my card?

Your balance will be displayed every time you load money onto your card or swipe the card for entry. You can also call the OneCard office over the phone (313-577-2273) during business hours to verify your balance, letting the receptionist know that you have a parking card with the Green Garage and giving her or him your card number.

What happens if I lose my card?

Notify Matt. Replacement cards include the $20 card activation fee and $30 pre-loaded parking money and therefore cost $50. Funds from the lost card are not transferable to the new card.
