Flexible Parking

Our fellow Tritons demonstrated extraordinary flexibility during the COVID-19 pandemic and Transportation Services was proud to match their flexibility with new parking options that allowed them to pay only for parking on the days they came to campus.

Nobody likes paying extra. If you’re not commuting 365 days a year, why would you want to pay for 365 days of parking? That’s why we’re expanding our Flexible Parking Initiative during the 2021–2022 academic year and making it even better with options tailored specifically for hybrid work and learning. Pay for parking just those times when you need to park and even if you work 100% onsite, you’ll have a chance to save by not paying for parking on holidays, vacation and sick days.

We’ve worked with our pay-by-app partner ParkMobile to make daily A, B and S parking—not just D parking—available in the app at the right price for the eligible campus population starting summer quarter. By fall quarter, we’ll be offering faculty and staff the chance to pre-purchase flexible parking credits on a pretax basis so our colleagues can save even more.

No app? Technical problem? We've got you covered. You can either call ParkMobile at (877) 727-5932 or purchase a daily permit through the UC San Diego parking portal.

When you log the days you work remotely or don’t drive alone in the Triton Commuter Club, you can save even more by earning additional parking discounts, incentive drawing entries, and more!

Use Your @ucsd.edu Email with ParkMobile

To receive access to faculty, staff or student permits and pricing, you must associate your ParkMobile account to your @ucsd.edu email address. Unit level email addresses (e.g., health.ucsd.edu, eng.ucsd.edu, rady.ucsd.edu) and personal email addresses (e.g., outlook.com, gmail.com) will not ensure access to the best available pricing and options.

Get the App

Use the codes in the categories below to access the parking that best suits your needs. If the app displays a daily parking fee that is greater than $6.45, you are attempting to access a permit that is inconsistent with your permit eligibility.
