Parking and External Transportation
When you visit a DMC hospital, we want your experience to be pleasant and safe.

The Parking and External Transportation Department (PETD) is responsible for several services system-wide at the DMC. Primarily, PETD manages parking for all visitors, vendors, physicians and employees, including contracted services for self-park and valet parking. PETD also assigns parking for DMC employees, students and frequent vendors.

Parking is handled through the DMC Badge office, which issues all identification badges and parking placards. The DMC Badge office is located in the Central Campus Detroit Campus, in McLaughlin Hall.

DMC also provides shuttle services for the Central Campus, with defined routes and scheduled arrival/departure times.

DMC Security Police officers work closely with PETD to help keep DMC campuses among the safest places to work and visit in the metropolitan area. These officers not only patrol the campus, but assist patients, visitors and employees with excellent customer service. In the event of any emergency, DMC Security police can be reached by dialing 111 from any DMC phone.

DMC Badge Service
Everyone entering the DMC system, including new employees, physicians, students or residents on clinical rotation, and vendors, must visit the DMC Badge Service in McLaughlin Hall on the Central Campus to receive the proper credentials. Your DMC badge will include your photograph (DMC will take your photo during your visit to badge services; you do not need to supply a photo.) Individuals in need of a parking assignment must provide all personal vehicle information (i.e. make, model, year, etc.)

• Employees/Physicians do not need to schedule a time to obtain a photo identification badge. Employees should bring their Human Resources paperwork at the time of their badge request.
• Students will need their instructors to schedule an appointment for their badges. Nursing Instructors must complete the DMC Nursing Clinical Affiliation Roster and return it to DMC Parking and External Transportation prior to scheduling student badge appointments.
• Vendors will need to contact DMC Facilities and receive vendor training prior to receiving their DMC badge.

Employee Parking
Upon receiving a DMC badge, every employee is assigned a paring location. This parking assignment must be used at all times. A DMC badge swipe is frequently required for entry to DMC Employee parking areas. Your badge is coded to your assigned parking area, and will not provide you access to any other parking area.

In order to provide as much accommodation as possible for our patients and their visitors, employees are not allowed to pay for parking in areas reserved for patient/visitor parking. Employees found violating this policy are subject to discipline pursuant to DMC HR Tier 1 Policy. Parking assignments are predetermined; all exceptions must be approved by the Director of Parking and External Transportation and a DMC Executive Manager. Consideration is given to individuals with documented conditions.
