Campus parking

Parking on campus is extremely limited, so if you don't absolutely, positively need a car to get around, save money and parking headaches and leave your car behind. Employees and students who choose not to drive may be eligible for up to $282 through Stanford's Clean Air Cash Rewards Program.

Refer to the Parking and Circulation Map for parking locations throughout the campus.

Parking for visitors, persons with disabilities, special events, and service/deliveries

• Visitors/General public — We have metered spaces, lots with pay machines that accept cash and credit cards, and daily permits that you can buy in advance.
• Persons with disabilities
  
• Special events — We have daily permits and designated parking lots.
• Business and service/delivery vehicles

Parking for commuting faculty, staff and students

Stanford affiliation is required to purchase long-term permits (30+ days) and "A" and "C" daily scratcher permits - they are not available to the general public. They are issued only to:

• Stanford University and Medical Center faculty, students and staff
• employees of organizations housed on campus; and
• persons sponsored by a University department or on-campus organization (such as temporary employees, volunteers and visiting scholars).

Please read the Commuter Parking page for detailed information on commuter permit choices, including options for motorcycle and convertible owners.

Eligibility

When purchasing your commuter permit, we'll need to see one of the following:

• your Stanford ID
• a Sponsorship form from your department administrator (available from your campus department and the Forms/Applications section).

Parking for resident students

Resident students can buy "Resident" permits for their designated house or dorm areas. However, incoming freshmen may not bring a car to campus.
