Now Live! New Parking Permit Management System
Stanford Transportation has launched a new, streamlined system to purchase parking permits at Stanford. Discover more about parking.stanford.edu.
Purchase a Parking Permit
Stanford Transportation has implemented a virtual permit system. Commuters, residents, and departments can purchase virtual parking permits, enter license plate information for vehicles they plan to park on campus, and link those vehicles to their permit.
If you are a visitor, you can use ParkMobile in visitor parking areas. Tour groups must reserve parking spaces in advance.
Commuters
If you are commuting to Stanford, you have a number of options for selecting and paying for parking. Before you decide, consider sustainable commute options and the many incentives Stanford offers.
University Residents
If you are a resident student, you can purchase a resident permit, but you cannot purchase a commuter permit. With the many transportation resources on campus, consider going car-free.
Visitors
Visitors can use Parkmobile to park at the main campus and Stanford Redwood City.
Departments
Departments can find parking and additional resources for their business needs.
Tour Groups
All campus tours and visits that are not organized by Stanford must reserve a tour access time slot.
Events
Our office can work with campus event planners to reserve event parking. When scheduling events, try to avoid peak times (arrivals from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. and departures from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.).
Vendors
Vendors can purchase Service/Delivery vehicle daily parking permits and visitor parking or request department sponsorship to access additional daily and long-term parking permit options.
Contractors
All parking arrangements for construction, renovation, or other university-sponsored projects must be made by the general contractor (e.g., general contractors, electrical, painting, roofing, landscape, plumbing, and maintenance companies) in conjunction with the Stanford Project Manager. Additionally, contractors can purchase Service/Delivery vehicle daily permits and visitor parking.
