UC Berkeley Parking & Transportation works to ensure parking availability for those who pay parking fees, as well as ensuring that safe and efficient transportation is maintained on campus.

On weekdays, most of UC Berkeley's 5,500+ parking spaces are reserved exclusively for University affiliates (faculty, staff, students) and authorized visitors.

If you are a visitor traveling to campus on a weekday, the campus offers limited hourly paid parking.  However, you are also encouraged to take advantage of public transportation to get you comfortably and directly to your campus destination.

For most campus parking areas, a valid parking permit must be associated with and/or displayed in your vehicle.  Exceptions are public parking lots with dispensing machines or parking attendants where hourly rates are available.
