Top Five Questions

1. Where is the bike cage?

   There are three secure bike cages/rooms available at the Stanford Redwood City campus for SRWC employees. Two of these facilities are open currently:

   • Recreation and Wellness Center, Room B140: located on Warrington Avenue, south of the Recreation and Wellness Center entrance.
   • ECH/A2 building: located on Barron Avenue across from the Pine Cone Children's Center

    

   Please note: The bike cage located on the ground floor of Barron Garage (address: 2855 Bay Road, Redwood City) is currently closed for security upgrades.

2. I’ve received a parking citation. How do I pay or appeal?

   Pay your citation

   If you have received a parking citation please make sure to pay your citation within 21 days of its issuance to avoid late charges. You can pay your citation online at pticket.com/Stanford. Visit our Pay a Parking Ticket webpage to learn more.

   Citations are issued at Stanford Redwood City to help manage parking demand and ensure that only Stanford affiliates and visitors are parking at SRWC, while also preventing long-term storage of vehicles on Stanford property. If parking is free or unenforced, parking demand could exceed supply, making it inconvenient for Stanford commuters to find parking on site.

   Research also shows that free parking increases parking demand, and our priority is to encourage and provide incentives for using sustainable transportation instead of driving alone.

   Appeal your citation

   If you would like to appeal a parking citation, you must request an administrative review from SP+ within 21 days of the citation’s date of issuance. Please note that appeals must be postmarked by the 21st day of its issuance, or the appeal will not be accepted. In addition, all customers must appeal through the SP+ process, not by contacting Stanford Transportation.

3. Can I use my 'C-SRWC' permit on the main campus or my 'C' or 'A' permit at SRWC?

   Yes. 'C-SRWC' permits are also valid at the main campus. Main campus 'C' and 'A' permits are also valid at SRWC.

   If you are moving to SRWC, for up to two weeks after your move, we have set up the system to allow you to purchase a main campus or SRWC parking permit to facilitate your transition to the new campus. After these two weeks have passed, you will have the ability to purchase ‘A’ and ‘C-SRWC’ daily permits for days when you would like to park on the main campus.

   To learn more, visit our Purchase a Drive-Alone Parking Permit webpage.

4. Where should I park at SRWC? How do I get there?

   SRWC commuter parking is available at:

   • Barron Garage (2855 Bay Road)
   • Broadway Lot (Broadway and Douglas Avenue)
   • Bay Lot (Bay Road and Warrington Avenue)

   Entering and exiting Barron Garage

   Please note: Do not turn left from Bay Road to enter the garage. If you are approaching the garage from the west on Bay Road, please turn left on Barron Avenue and use the Barron entrance.  When exiting the garage, if you need to turn left (east), please exit on Barron Avenue, since left turns should not be made from the Bay Road exit. For more information, please refer to our parking entrances and exits map.

   It's important for Stanford to be a good neighbor to surrounding communities, hospital colleagues, and patients. Because of this, the University does not support or condone parking off-campus in nearby neighborhoods or the Stanford Health Care clinic parking, as it negatively impacts these communities and individuals.

5. Where is the shuttle stop at the Redwood City Caltrain station? Where can I find the shuttle schedules?
