As of April 12, 2021, in support of the gradual reopening of the main campus, parking enforcement in the Arts and Athletics Zones returns to weekday enforcement, with no enforcement in these zones on evenings and weekends. Visit our article to learn more. Parking enforcement in other zones continues to be in effect 24/7.

To support campus health and safety and more effectively manage external visitors, as of Monday, Nov. 2, parking enforcement on Stanford’s main campus was extended to include nights and weekends. All vehicles are required to have an active permit to park on the main campus 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 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.

In compliance with State of California guidance, the campus zones program supports the resumption of teaching and research operations curbed by COVID-19 by establishing zones that define access to different areas of Stanford’s main campus.

The program goes into effect as of Sept. 1, at which time visitor parking will not be available in the Academic Campus Zone. Existing visitor parking in the Academic Campus Zone will be converted to ‘A’ permit spaces for essential Stanford commuters.
