Parking for Meetings — General Information, Academic Year 2018–2019


UCSC requires permits to park in most parking lots throughout the campus. Permits cost $4.00 per car. OLLI is providing a carpool discount rate of $2.00 per car for carpools with of three or more occupants. Carpooling will reduce the per person cost of parking, and is good for the environment. Shuttle service to and from the East Remote Parking Lot along Hagar Drive is provided. There is no charge for parking at this lot on the weekends. 

Student Parking Agents will sell $2.00 carpool or regular $4.00 permits at the entrance to the parking areas identified with an asterisk (*) on the parking map on this page. Permits are good for 24 hours. 

There is free parking for members with a handicap. See the “Information for Members with a Handicap” section below.
