Friday, July 4 Notice:

Our office will be closed for the Independence Day holiday. We will reopen on Monday, July 7 at 7:30 a.m.

You can park without a permit in all 'C' and metered lots for the University and Hospital. This includes the Hoover Pavilion parking lot (on Quarry Road across from the Stanford Shopping Center).

All 'A' parking, Resident lots (except shared 'C' lots), and special zones (such as "Special Permit Only," disabled, red curbs, and fire lanes) will be enforced as posted.

• With the exception of the Medical Center Loop and Medical Center to Hillview/VA shuttles, there will be no Marguerite service on this day.

On this page:

Whether you live on campus or off, whether you drive to campus 5 days a week or you're just visiting for the day, all the information you need is located on these pages.

There are three basic kinds of parking permits:
• permits for commuters,
• permits for students who live on campus, and
• permits for business or service vehicles.
If you are an incoming freshmen, you can't bring a car to campus.

For visitors, we have metered spaces, lots with pay machines that accept cash and credit cards, and daily permits that you can buy in advance.

If you are planning a special event on campus, we have daily permits designed just for you. And if you need disabled parking, we provide that too.

To find out where you are going and where you can park, check out our Parking and Circulation Map.

You can purchase permits at our office, by mail, or online. Daily visitor permits are also available for purchase at our office.


General Parking Information

Parking on campus is extremely limited, so if you don't absolutely, positively need a car to get around, save money and parking headaches and leave your car behind. If you ever decide to live off-campus and choose not to drive, Stanford's Clean Air Cash Rewards Program could reward you with up to $234.00.

Parking for Commuting Faculty, Staff and Students
Stanford affiliation is required to purchase long-term permits (30+ days) and "A" and "C" scratchers - they are not available to the general public. They are issued only to:

  • Stanford University and Medical Center faculty, students and staff
  • employees of organizations housed on campus; and
  • persons sponsored by a University department or on-campus organization (such as temporary employees, volunteers and visiting scholars).

ELIGIBILITY: When purchasing your permit, we'll need to see either your Stanford ID or a Sponsorship form from your department administrator (we've provided them to every department on campus, and they're also available online as downloadable PDF files.

We assess changing demand patterns and reallocate space based on the needs of the community. So speak up! If your lot is filling up, send an email to transportation@stanford.edu or give us a call at 723-9362.
