Parking and Commuter Services manages parking operations and alternative transportation programs across all UC San Diego and UC San Diego Health locations. The department oversees parking permit and transit pass sales, special event parking, parking facility safety and maintenance, and parking regulation enforcement. The department also plays a crucial role in campus planning by assessing parking needs, recommending new parking facilities, and implementing strategies to reducing single-occupancy vehicle trips to UC San Diego and UC San Diego Health.

Parking and Commuter Services is committed to supporting sustainable transportation choices and reducing commuter impacts on the environment. The department prioritizes and manages alternative transportation initiatives including carpools, vanpools, and active transportation (bicycle/pedestrian) programs, shared mobility, transit pass sales, and commuter incentive programs. The department consistently strives to meet and exceed the commitments of the UC Sustainable Practices Policy (https://policy.ucop.edu/doc/3100155/SustainablePractices) and is dedicated to helping UC San Diego achieve its sustainability goals, including the commitment to net zero carbon outlined in AB1279 (https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB1279) and UC's Climate Action Goals (https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/university-california-adopts-new-stronger-climate-action-goals).

Parking and Commuter Services employs a team of approximately 40 career staff and 150 student workers to manage and support campus parking operations. The department, as an auxiliary business unit, is derived from parking permit sales, citation revenue, and other related fees, which are used to fund all parking infrastructure maintenance, alternative transportation programs, and support overall campus transportation initiatives.
