Parking Information for Residential Summer Programs
In keeping with Stanford University’s goals of reducing peak-hour commuting and supporting environmental sustainability initiatives, we encourage your program to consider using alternative transportation and, whenever possible, to schedule events so that arrivals and departures to/from campus can be minimized between 7:30 AM - 9 AM and between 4:30 PM - 6 PM.
SUMMER SCRATCHER-PARKING PERMITS
Residential parking lots are enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In order to park in these lots, the following types of parking permits may be purchased from the Stanford Conferences office or from your Conference Front Desk (CFD). Please note that parking permits must display their date(s) of use in order to be valid.
Daily Summer Conference “Scratchers” $4.50 per day
Daily Summer Conference Scratcher Permits (light blue) require scratching off the date, month and year to indicate the date it would be used. These daily scratchers must be hung from the car’s rear view mirror, facing out. Please follow the information provided on the scratcher.
Daily Summer Conference Scratchers are valid only in areas designated for Resident Student Permit lots including: ‘EA’, ‘ES’, ‘SO’, ‘WE’, ‘SJ’, and shared commuter parking. These daily scratchers are valid only for the date specified on the permit. They are not valid for ‘A’, ‘C’, ‘Visitor’ or ‘SH’ parking.
Monthly Summer Conference Permits $25.00 (6-30 days)
Monthly Summer Conference Parking Permits are valid only in areas designated for Resident Student Permit lots including: ‘EA’, ‘ES’, ‘SO’, ‘WE’ and ‘SJ’ parking. Monthly permits are not valid for ‘A’, ‘C’, ‘Visitor’, or ‘SH’ parking. The permit must be taped to the inside of the front windshield (on the driver’s side, in the lower left-hand corner) and correctly marked. All Monthly Summer Conference Permits will be marked upon purchase. As this is the case, there will be no refunds for unused returned permits.

PARKING CITATIONS
Parking tickets range from $45 for a permit violation to $348 for illegally parking in a disabled space. Police services at Stanford are provided by the Stanford Department of Public Safety, a division of the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office. Parking & Transportation Services, Stanford Conferences, and your Conference Front Desk are not able to arrange for the dismissal of a parking ticket. The appeal procedure can only be pursued by the participant who received the parking ticket. It is the sole responsibility of the user to make sure that parking permits are displayed and scratched correctly.
