Contractor and Vendor Parking Options

Contractor Staging Permits

PPDO Staging Site Permits

Used in securable fenced areas only (including the East Remote overflow lots), and managed entirely by PPDO. This includes major construction sites, the overflow lots at the East Remote, or other fenced sites off pavement. Please note that wrapping a vehicle parked on pavement with "snow" fencing does not meet this standard. Additionally, please note that fencing at major construction sites or other fenced off-pavement sites should only be used for contractor & professional vehicles rather than the general workforce.

TAPS Contractor Staging Permits

Allow vehicles or equipment to park in TAPS-designated staging areas or in parking spaces reserved and signed for construction staging permits. TAPS posts these staging areas after the order is received. Moving the signs (and therefore the staging area) may only be done with TAPS' knowledge and permission. 

Contractor Staging Costs

Projects will be charged by the number of spaces taken, not the number of Staging permits issued.

• In marked parking spaces: $10/space/day
• Out of marked parking spaces: $5/space/day

How to Purchase

To purchase Contractor Staging Permits, please email the Events & Construction Parking Coordinator or call (831) 459-1097. 

A/Construction and Limited Construction Permits

A/Construction Permits: $12 per day

A/Construction permit holders may park in A, B, or R permit spaces, ParkMobile spaces, University Vehicles spaces, and out of marked spaces

A/Construction vehicles MAY NOT park in reserved spaces, including but not limited to, accessible, medical, carpool, and vanpool spaces.

Limited Construction Permits: $9 per day

Limited Construction permit holders may only park out of marked spaces. If parked along sidewalks or roadways, these vehicles must maintain at least a 20-foot clearance to allow for emergency vehicles to safely pass. They may not block curb cuts or any part of an accessible path of travel, unless said area is inside a fenced construction site.

Both A/Construction and Limited Construction permits are available as virtual or daily scratcher permits.
