Whether you're visiting for an hour or a couple of days, we'll provide you with a place to park and easy access to the entire campus.

Visitors have several payment options for parking:

  • $1.50/hour coin-metered spaces located throughout the campus
     
  • One-day "Visitor" scratcher permits (which allow parking in Pay & Display lots and at meters), available for $12 each at the P&TS office (open weekdays 7:30 a.m. -5 p.m.).
     
  • Parking permit machines
    - in the Tresidder lot
    - in front of the Cantor Art Center
    - at 401 Quarry Road - Psychiatry
    - behind Memorial Auditorium
    - at the Track House
    - at Hoover Pavilion
    You may purchase up to 8 hours of parking. The machines accept credit cards, cash or coins; You should have the correct amount of money if you do not use your credit card, since these machines do not issue change. The receipt should be placed on the car dashboard with the expiration time and date facing up.

For visitor parking locations, please visit our Maps page.

Visiting Residents on Campus

Resident student lots are enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In order to park in these lots, you will need to have a one-day 'Resident' scratcher, valid until noon the next day. Only registered Stanford students are allowed to purchase these permits.

Enforcement Hours
"A," "C," and "shared" resident/commuter lots are enforced Monday-Friday, 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Meters are enforced 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. You are free to park in these areas after enforcement hours.

Stanford Hosts
Stanford hosts should remind visitors to bring change for the parking meters; visitors may need to park at a meter temporarily while picking up a scratcher. Departments are welcome to purchase up to 20 "A" scratchers for visitor use or 20 "Visitor" scratchers per month (which allow parking in Pay & Display lots and at meters).
