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

• Visitors/General public — We have metered spaces, lots with pay machines that accept cash and credit cards, and daily permits that you can buy in advance.
• Persons with disabilities
  
• Special Events — We have daily permits and designated parking lots.
• Business and Service/Delivery vehicles
