The main campus returned to weekday enforcement as of June 16 for commuter and visitor parking
Please purchase a permit to park on campus during enforcement hours and refer to our earlier announcement to learn more.
How to Purchase Visitor Parking
Visitor and hourly parking permit payments have transitioned to a contactless process through the ParkMobile app. In the interest of safety, physical pay stations at visitor lots have been taken offline to avoid the touching of shared surfaces that cannot be adequately disinfected throughout the day.
| MAIN CAMPUS VISITORS | Pay for parking through the ParkMobile app, mobile website, QR code, or by texting PARK to 77223. We recommend downloading the app before arriving. |
| STANFORD REDWOOD CITY VISITORS | Pay for parking through the ParkMobile app, mobile website, QR code, or by texting PARK to 77223. We recommend downloading the app before arriving. Please refer to our visitor parking article for Stanford Redwood City to find out how it works. |
| GUESTS OF STANFORD DEPARTMENTS | Departments can set up a ParkMobile account to pay for visitor parking for their guests by logging in through the ParkMobile website. Please refer to How to Pay for Department Visitor Parking. |
Payment information
- Mobile payment: Use the ParkMobile app, mobile website, or QR code, or by texting PARK to 77223 to pay using a credit card. In addition to the hourly visitor parking fee, ParkMobile charges 35 cents for each transaction.
- Please note, there are no physical pay stations or kiosks at visitor lots.
- Customers who do not own cell phones may consider the option to purchase visitor parking in advance through a computer using the ParkMobile website. Here are instructions for creating a ParkMobile account. Please note that purchasing visitor parking in advance does not guarantee a space, so there is a risk that you are unable to find parking in the zone when you arrive. The payment is non-refundable.
