Students who need assistance with transportation-related requests are encouraged to contact the Transportation Department directly to learn more about available services, eligibility requirements and support options.
After Hours

An SF State parking permit is required to park in any of the lots located on campus. If you have a DMV placard or Disabled Person (DP) plate but do not have both a placard/plate displayed and a valid parking permit while parked in a blue zone, you may be cited. Parking is enforced 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
Placard or DP plate holders may park in Lots 2, 19, 20 and 25 regardless of permit assignment, so long as you park in a blue ADA parking space with
1) a placard displayed
2) a valid permit.
Students in possession of a DMV Placard or Plates, and with great financial need, may apply for a parking permit fee waiver by reaching out to Parking & Transportation at parking@sfsu.edu.
If you require assistance with parking for on-campus housing, please notify your disability specialist.
