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.
