Campus parking
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. Employees and students who choose not to drive may be eligible for up to $300
through Stanford's Clean Air Cash Rewards Program.
Refer to the Parking and Circulation Map for parking locations throughout the campus.
Parking for visitors, persons with disabilities, special events, and service/deliveries
