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.

Commute Kindness Stories

“I love throwing kindness around like it’s confetti… When others see kindness they feel compelled to do the same thing. A two-second act of kindness along with a smile goes a long way.” — Mia Rocha, carpool commuter

Mia Rocha's story is one of more than 190 submissions we received from Stanford Commute Club members who shared acts of kindness they have seen or done during their sustainable commutes.

We are highlighting just a sample of stories we received and hope it provides a glimpse into the “community of caring” that is the Commute Club. As some commuters noted, these are connections and experiences they wouldn’t have had if they were driving alone. One commuter even met her best friend while riding Caltrain!

Thank you to everyone who submitted quotes to our Commute Kindness promotion, and to everyone who makes an effort to spread kindness "like confetti." The submissions we feature are edited for brevity and clarity.

This additional story is not from our contest, but it highlights the unexpected kindness of a Stanford commuter.
