UC BERKELEY PARKING &TRANSPORTATIONWe provide a full range of parking and transportation services for a diverse com-

munity of more than 38,000 students, 12,000 faculty and sta�, and thousands of

visitors to the Berkeley Campus, in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area. In

support of Berkeley’s mission of Teaching, Research, and Public Service, Parking &

Transportation is dedicated to delivering transportation systems that provide the

Berkeley community a choice of how to get to and around campus.


UC Berkeley is a land-locked, urban campus with only 5,500 parking spaces. We are dedicated

to providing a full suite of transportation options so we can minimize the number of single

occupancy vehicles we have coming to campus every day.
