Parking Instructions

This is an important announcement—please read carefully.

Parking and Transportation Services is moving fully from traditional parking meters to an app-based system. As part of this transition, the parking meter in front of Guadalupe Hall will be disabled and eventually removed due to accessibility challenges and frequent malfunctions.

What this means for you:
Parking permits will now need to be purchased through one of the following options:

  • The Transportation Office (best option for Quarterly passes)
  • The Main University Entrance Kiosk
  • The AMP Park mobile app (available for download on your smartphone)

Questions? Contact Transportation Services at (408) 551-7080.
