Transportation

Information about transportation to Stanford can be found here. Some important and helpful transportation links include:

  • CalTrain - local commuter rail between San Francisco and San Jose.
  • Marguerite Shuttle - Stanford's free public shuttle service, which travels around campus and connects to nearby transit, shopping, dining, and entertainment.

Parking

Parking on campus can be something of an adventure, but it's often easier if you arrive by or before 8:30am. If you are driving, we strongly recommend parking in Parking Structure 6, also known as the Wilbur Field Garage.  It's a very short walk to the David Rumsey Map Center. Be sure to park in visitor parking spaces, and pay for a full day at the parking permit machines.  You can also use the Parkmobile app to pay for your space.  

Alternative methods of getting to campus from your hotel can be found at Stanford's transportation site here.

Lodging

Travel and accomodation is at your own expense, or the expense of your institution. Below we've provided some guidance on air travel, lodging and transportation. There are many hotels in close proximity to campus.  Increasingly, visitors to Stanford are finding affordable lodging on AirBnB.
