Main campus parking enforcement includes nights and weekends; Courtesy 'After-Hours' permits available for Stanford affiliates

To support campus health and safety and more effectively manage external visitors, as of Nov. 2, parking enforcement on Stanford’s main campus was extended to include nights and weekends. Stanford affiliates can continue to park after hours at no additional charge, either with an existing permit or by registering their vehicle for a Courtesy ‘After-Hours’ permit. Read our article to learn more.

Reserve Bike Storage

Bike storage is only available to Stanford affiliates commuting to campus. If you are a resident on campus and need bike storage (e.g., over the summer), the Campus Bike Shop is offering bike storage options, so that your bike does not get impounded or exposed to the elements.

Please follow the safety signage posted at bicycle cages and lockers when using those storage facilities on campus. Bikes should be securely locked to a bike rack inside the bike cage. Please refer to our Keep Your Bike Secure page for additional details.

Main campus

Bicycle storage cages

Please note that Stanford is not liable for any loss, injury or damage resulting from the use of the bike storage facilities. Please also note that bike cages are the only secure bike storage option available at this time.

  • Bike cage spaces are available at Knight Management Center Garage, Stock Farm Garage, Via Ortega Garage, and the new Center for Academic Medicine (CAM).
  • The bike cage rental fee is $72 annually (Jan. 1 - Dec. 31), paid in advance, and is prorated for partial-year participants. You may vacate your storage space before the end of the rental term but there are no refunds for the unused time.
  • To reserve space, download a Bike Storage Rental Application.

Clothes lockers and showers

Some buildings on the main campus offer limited access to showers for Stanford affiliates, but they are not widely available. Stanford Transportation does not maintain a list of shower and locker availability throughout campus, so you may want to check with your department or colleagues.

Stanford Redwood City

Bicycle storage cages

Each bike cage/room at SRWC accommodates 60 bikes and is accessible with your Stanford ID card.

There are three bike cages and rooms located at:

  • The ground level of Barron Garage (temporarily closed for security upgrades),
  • BeWell Recreation Center, and
  • The A2 Building next to Barron Garage

Currently, bike cages are available on a first-come, first-served basis. You will not need to make a reservation. During this time there is no rental fee.

Please note: If rental fees for bike cages take effect, rates will be consistent with our current main campus secure bike parking program, and ID card readers will be configured to only allow access to paying cyclists who are SRWC employees.

Clothes lockers and showers

The Stanford Redwood City Recreation and Wellness Center provides showers, locker rooms with towel service, and day use lockers, among a number of other amenities. Lockers are available on a first-come, first-served, day-to-day basis. You need to provide your own lock.
