Parking & Traffic Management

SF State requires payment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on all of the lots. Please pay close attention to signage in the area that may note staff only parking. Ask your event manager about the parking at your venue. Be sure to mention on any marketing or ticketing that there is a parking fee. Do not let the parking discussion wait. This is where we see many issues at events.
