UCSF Plan My Commute

If driving to work is the best option for you, 2-hour metered parking is available in the area around Gladstone’s building, as well as hourly and all-day parking in the UCSF Rutter Center Garage, located across the street at 1625 Owens Street, and the Alexandria Parking Garage, located behind Gladstone at 1670 Owens Street.

Monthly parking permits are available for UCSF Rutter Center Garage, located across the street from Gladstone at 1625 Owens Street, or the Alexandria Parking Garage, located behind Gladstone at 1670 Owens Street based on availability. Permits are distributed by the People Services team and you can request one through Workday. There are a limited number of permits that are issued on a first come, first served basis. Parking permits may not be available on your first day.

Through June 30, 2024, the monthly parking permit costs $332* for automobiles and $80 for motorcycles. Parking permit rates increase on an annual basis starting July 1.

*Since the cost of the automobile permit exceeds the $315 pre-tax commuter benefit limit set by the IRS, the cost of the permit will be deducted on both a pre-tax basis ($157.50 semi-monthly or $315 monthly) and a post-tax basis ($8.50 semi-monthly or $17 monthly).

You’ll need to register your bike to access secure bike storage at Gladstone. It may be best not to ride your bike on your first day, as street bike racks are unpredictable. More information about Gladstone's bicycle benefit can be found in the benefits brochure and will be discussed on your first day.

Once you’re onboarded, check out the carpooling Slack channel to see if someone in your neighborhood is interested in sharing a ride.
