Locations, Directions, and Parking for UPMC Hamot

For patients and guests who prefer to park in a free lot, the Park & Ride shuttle service is available through the Erie Metropolitan Transit Authority. Parking is available at the following locations:

• The Intermodal Center is located on the northeast corner of the Bayfront Highway and Holland Street.
• The Park & Ride lot on the Bayfront Highway, about one mile west of UPMC Hamot.

The shuttle (Route #5) runs 6 to 8:30 a.m. and from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. There is a small fee for the shuttle service. Passengers are dropped off at the corner of 2nd and State streets.

For more information on where to park and how to pick up the shuttle, visit Erie Metropolitan Transit Authority or call 814-877-2130.

A public parking ramp operated by the Erie Parking Authority is located just south of UPMC Hamot, between State and French Streets. To park in this ramp, enter on East Third Street. Hourly and daily rates are offered.

For extended visits, temporary parking passes may be available at a discounted rate. Check with the ramp parking attendant for more information.

Emergency Department Patients

While visiting the emergency department, parking is available in the parking ramp. One ticket per patient will be validated at the ER registration office.

If you are leaving the medical center after dark, a member of the UPMC Hamot security team will be happy to escort you to the adjacent parking areas.

Ask the staff at the information desk in the main lobby to call security for you or call 814-877-6666.

Valet parking is available to everyone, but is ideal for patients and visitors who are from out of town or who find walking longer distances a challenge. It also allows the caregiver or family member to stay with the patient rather than having to drop them off and park the vehicle.

A valet will greet you at the main entrance to UPMC Hamot on State Street and take your vehicle to be parked.

Cost

• The cost for all day at the ramp is $10.
• All day valet parking is also $15 and provides a more convenient experience while at the hospital.
