Limited parking enforcement, Marguerite and transit service on Monday, July 4th

Visit our Limited Parking Enforcement, Marguerite and Transit Service on July 4th article for details on parking enforcement, Marguerite and transit service.

Resident Student Permit Rates

Prices effective Sept. 1, 2019
Permit Type Short-term/Daily Long-term
'RES' $5.45/day[1] $35/month
Motorcycle $2.50/day $12.50/month

Notes:

[1] ‘RES’ daily permit sales are not available to the general public. Stanford affiliation required.

Students living on campus and with an active housing contract can buy permits for their designated house or dorm areas, but are NOT allowed to purchase 'A' or 'C' commuter permits. You're only allowed to keep one motorized vehicle on campus during your housing contract's effective dates. If you need parking beyond your housing contract, please contact Stanford Transportation.

Students in couples or family housing are limited to two long-term permits. If needed, students in family housing may purchase one additional long-term permit for a registered care worker.

Students opting for the "Lock and Go" program and wanting to leave their vehicle(s) on campus for the summer will be required to leave their vehicle's keys with someone locally and contact Stanford Transportation for more details and to provide their payment information prior to leaving campus.

Resident student parking is divided into the following areas: West, South, East, SJ, and Escondido Village. See the Parking and Circulation Map for the locations of these areas. Each permit is valid only in its area.

Helpful Information:

  • You can make installment payments on a long-term permit through our recurring debit/charge service.
  • Permit ordering and payment options are listed on our How to Purchase page.
  • The Parking and Circulation / Campus Map shows where each permit type is valid.
  •  Please note that during regular business hours (Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.), permit holders can only park in spaces designated for their permit type.  On weekends and after hours, parking is free in most 'A', 'C' shared and visitor spaces, unless otherwise posted.
  • Long-term residential permits are only valid for a specific residential area. For example, if a student lives in Wilbur, they are only eligible for an 'EA' permit and cannot park in other residential designations.  If a student switches residences, please contact us to assist with the exchange.

Motorcycles

You can buy a regular Resident permit and park in a full space, or get a Motorcycle/Scooter permit which is good only in 'MC' spaces. If own both a motorcycle and a car, you'll need to leave one at home unless you are in couples or family housing.

Resident Visitor Permits

Resident student lots are enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In order to park in these lots, visitors will need to have a one-day 'Resident' permit, valid until 11:59 p.m. for the selected date. Residents in Stanford student housing may purchase as many as needed.
