For those who prefer to park on WSU's main campus, Parking Structure 1 (Palmer and Cass) is our designated Mike Ilitch School of Business park-and-ride point. WSU faculty, staff and students are eligible for a free WayneRides Dart pass to ride any DDOT or SMART buses or the QLINE streetcar. WSU personnel are also eligible for free annual passes for the MoGo bike-sharing service. More information on these options can be found at parking.wayne.edu/alternative.
