THE UCSC TRANSIT APP BUILT FOR CARS
Know where to park before you drive.
We predict the best lots from time-of-day patterns and campus rules so you spend less time circling and more time getting to class.
Join the waitlistStop circling. Start parking.
UCSC has 20+ lots spread across hilly terrain, each with different permit rules, time restrictions, and unpredictable availability. There's no centralized way to know what's open right now.
Permit rules change by the hour
Every lot has its own permit types and time windows. One wrong read and you're walking back to a ticket.
No way to check availability
You won't know a lot is full until you've already driven across campus to find out.
Minutes lost every day
Circling lots, parking far from your destination, and rushing to class — it adds up fast.
