ParkMobile Availability

ParkMobile is available on the residential campus, Coastal Science Campus, and Westside Research Park. On the residential campus, parking is available for $2.50/hour, $10/day, or $5 evening/weekend flat rate in select locations plus a $0.45 transaction fee. Check the UCSC Parking Map for enforcement hours as they vary by area. Use the ParkMobile app to find the most updated zones and rates.

Non-ParkMobile permits such as A, B, C, R, event, and contractor permits are not authorized to utilize marked ParkMobile spaces without additional payment. Please observe posted signage to avoid receiving a citation.

Check for ParkMobile signage in the below zones for available spaces and areas. Failure to adhere to signage or pay ParkMobile fees in a designated area or space will result in a citation.

  • For the purpose of enforcing parking permit requirements at UCSC, virtual parking permits (e.g., ParkMobile payments) will be accepted, where applicable, in lieu of displaying a physical parking permit. A virtual parking permit means that the license plate of the vehicle being parked serves as the valid permit authorizing parking in specified locations, for a specific time. On the UCSC campus, this is done at specified locations through a pay by phone parking application (i.e., ParkMobile), or the electronic pay machine servicing a specific location.
