Plan your trip to and from Stanford

It’s quick and easy to plan your trip using Google Maps’ trip planning resource.

  • Enter your addresses in the following fields. (If you are planning your commute to the new Stanford Redwood City site, use use “2855 Bay Road, Redwood City, CA 94063,” as the destination for the Barron Garage, or refer to the surface lot addresses.)
  • After clicking “Plan trip,” you’ll go to Google Maps, where you have the option to input your arrival or departure dates and times, and select preferred modes of transportation.
  • If you are able to drive to your transit connection, enter the transit stop (such as Caltrain, BART, SamTrans, or VTA) near you as your starting point. This could significantly reduce your estimated overall trip time.
