Commuter Parking

Stanford employees, students, and affiliates can adopt a sustainable commute and save money through our award-winning commuter programs or purchase daily or long-term parking to suit your schedule. Consider biking, transit, walking, carpooling, or vanpooling to reduce the financial and environmental costs of driving alone and avoid parking hassles. 

All Stanford-affiliated commuters can choose between a more affordable 'C' permit, which is in higher demand and farther from buildings and the center of campus, or a higher-cost 'A' permit that offers closer proximity and greater flexibility for arrival and mobility. 

Commuter students (non-first-year) who are actively enrolled in classes are eligible to purchase commuter permits but do not qualify for residential permits.

• Stanford affiliates log in using SSO to purchase parking.

• Unsponsored ‘Other’ affiliates will request access.

Please note that all Stanford affiliates are limited to one parking permit at a time, and only one vehicle may be parked on campus per permit.
