Parking is on a first-come, first-served basis in the San Mateo County Community College District except for specific spaces reserved for visitors, staff and the disabled. The District provides parking on its facilities but accepts no liability for vandalism, theft, or accident.

Parking Permit Requirements

In an effort to assist in removing possible financial barriers and create a greater atmosphere of inclusion with everyone in our campus community, no Student or Visitor Parking Permits are required.

Parking will be open without any permit requirements in all designated "Student Parking Lots". We can assist with answering any parking related questions at (650) 738-7000.

Parking and Traffic Regulations

Traffic and Parking Regulations (including unauthorized parking in disabled parking spaces or Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations) are enforced at all times under the jurisdiction of the San Mateo County Superior Court. Pedestrians have the right of way at all times. For more details on Traffic Regulations, you may refer to Item 8.48 (Traffic Regulations) of the San Mateo County Community College District Rules and Regulations.

Parking is permitted only on blacktop surfaces in specifically marked parking spaces. Parking on unpaved areas, in roadways, in areas posted as no parking zones, or in any unauthorized area is prohibited. Driving or parking within the inner campus is prohibited. Campus speed limit is 25 mph. Where signs indicate a lesser speed, that speed will be the maximum.
