Main campus parking enforcement includes nights and weekends; Courtesy 'After-Hours' permits available for Stanford affiliates

To support campus health and safety and more effectively manage external visitors, as of Nov. 2, parking enforcement on Stanford’s main campus was extended to include nights and weekends. 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.

About the Caltrain Go Pass

The Go Pass is valid for the full calendar year, seven days a week. Stanford purchases these passes primarily for your commute to Stanford; however, there is no restriction on their use. You can use them to travel free to a Giants' game, to get to the airport, or to skip the high cost of parking while spending the day in the city.

Since Stanford pays for passes for all eligible employees, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars, regardless of whether or not you use them, it does not save the university or hospital any money if you do not request your transit pass(es). So, go ahead and request them – and use them as little or as often as you like.

How to Get a Go Pass

The Go Pass is loaded onto a Clipper card. You can request a Go Pass and/or Clipper card by completing our Transit Pass Request Form.

All Go Pass users should register their Clipper cards on Clipper’s website. Registering your Clipper card helps to protect the value on your card if it is lost or stolen.

Terms of Use
