Pricing is based on location and convenience:
- "A" spaces are more expensive, but closest to buildings and generally offer greater availability. They also allow you to park in "C" spaces.
- "C" spaces provide parking at a lower cost, but at a greater distance from buildings, with higher demand.
- All motorcycles, scooters and mopeds need a permit and may park only in locations designated on the permit (inexpensive "Motorcycle" spaces or full-priced "A" or "C" spaces) - not at bike racks.
See the
Parking and Circulation Map for the locations of these areas.
We try to provide "A" vacancies close to most buildings at most times of day, and enough "C" parking to accommodate permit holders. 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.
Our Academic 12-Month, 10-Month, and 2-year "A" and "C" permits come in two varieties: transferable (suction-cup) and non-transferable (adhesive).
- Transferable permits stick to your windshield with a suction cup, allowing you to move the permit back and forth between vehicles hundreds of times.
- Non-Transferable permits have a sticky adhesive backing and self-destruct upon removal. With the proper tools (Scotch tape and a razor blade), adhesive permits can be removed from your car window easily and cleanly.
If you regularly alternate between two or more vehicles, you'll probably want a transferable
permit. The major drawback of transferable permits is that many are stolen or lost each year. Remember to remove your "transferable" permit from your car window when you visit the carwash or return your rental car.
If you rarely drive your second car, get a 'theft-proof' adhesive sticker permit for your primary car. When you drive in your second car, pick up a free temporary permit at our Bonair Siding office. Just show us your ID.
If you drive more than one car, and one of those is a convertible, make sure to get a sticker for that car. Just bring in both vehicle registrations, and we'll give you an additional adhesive permit at no charge.
You can buy a regular commuter permit ("A" or "C") and park in a full space, or get a Motorcycle/Scooter permit, good for "MC" spaces. If you already have a permit for your car, but sometimes drive in your motorcycle, you can get the same kind of permit for your motorcycle, free of charge. Just bring in the registrations for both vehicles.
