KU on Wheels
Parking & Transit Office

KU Staff

Since 2007, KU on Wheels has operated out of the Parking & Transit office in the Allen Fieldhouse Parking Garage. 

Daily tasks, customer service, and long-range planning are handled by two full-time staff and two part-time students: the assistant director, an administrative professional, a graduate student intern and the transportation coordinator. 

Students who are interested in applying for the intern or coordinator positions should check the university job postings – we usually post these openings following Spring Break each year.
