Secure Bike Parking
UC Berkeley’s Parking & Transportation Department has installed three secure and covered bicycle parking facilities on campus, for use by UC affiliates. This program is offered free of charge on a first come, first served basis. The facilities are located in the School of Law, Bancroft, and RSF garages.
Note: As of May 27, 2025, the secure bike parking facility at the Bancroft garage is closed while the parking structure is demolished and rebuilt. The new garage is scheduled to open in August 2026.
Secure Bicycle Parking provides added security for your bicycle with:
-
Access with a Cal 1 Card.
-
Parking enforcement patrols during business hours.
-
Observation by parking attendants in facilities within parking lots on weekdays.
-
Two covered facilities located in campus parking areas you can view on this map.
