Parking at Stanford is something that CCTO staff members pay for individually. The closest lot to 800/777 Welch is Stock Farm Garage, which requires C or A Stanford parking permits. You can learn more about purchasing parking permits at the Parking and Transportation Services (P&TS) website.
IMPORTANT INFO about 780/800 Welch Parking:
- There is a 20-minute parking spot behind 800 Welch that is specifically designated for couriers and building-related drop-offs only – PLEASE DO NOT PARK HERE.
- There are patient-designated parking spaces behind 800 Welch, which are not intended for extended parking without the correct CTRU permit.
- The 780/800 Welch lots are owned by the City of Palo Alto, so Stanford parking permits are not applicable. Everyone is responsible for covering their own hourly meter costs and/or payment of fines issued by City of Palo Alto parking enforcement.
