Parking & Transportation Services will offer reduced hours on Dec. 13, opening only from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. that day. In addition, the P&TS office will close from Dec. 19 through Jan. 2 for the university's winter break.
Place orders for permits before Dec. 14. Did you know that some of the longest lines at Parking & Transportation Services occur during the first week in January? Avoid standing in line by ordering parking permits online, by fax, or email by Dec. 14, the last day this year to place orders electronically. Customers with monthly permits who cannot order online before Dec. 14 should send an application by fax to 650.724.8676 or by email to transportation@stanford.edu. When ordering, request permit delivery by mail or select "pick up" at the P&TS "Will Call" window to eliminate or reduce a long wait in line.
Special notice for new or terminating employees: Employees who end their employment in December must return their long-term parking permits by Dec. 14 at noon to avoid being charged through payroll deduction for January 2012. Employees returning permits may request a courtesy permit to cover the remainder of December. During the winter closure, new hospital employees who don't yet have a permit may park in any "C" parking space, since "C" parking restrictions will not be enforced during the winter break.
Winter break parking enforcement: During the winter break (Dec. 19 through Jan. 2), parking permit enforcement will be suspended in all "C" parking lots, and in most visitor/meter spaces and "A" lots, with the exception of parking facilities serving the hospital and School of Medicine. "A" parking spaces, visitor/meter spaces, Service/University Vehicle spaces, and timed loading zones/spaces will be enforced during the closure in these lots: L-9 (Quarry Extension), L-15 (Beckman/LKSC visitor lot), L-16 (MSOB lot), and Parking Structures 1 and 4.
Parking restrictions in residential lots and special zones, such as disabled parking, red zones, fire lanes, and special permit stalls, will be enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please refer to our Parking and Circulation Map (PDF) for parking locations and designations.
If you have questions, please send an email to transportation@stanford.edu.
