Parking

    A major component of the Upper Science Hill Development is the demolition of Pierson Sage Parking Garage and the construction of a new parking structure in its place. Pierson Sage Garage is scheduled to go offline on June 3, 2025. To enable this work, everyone with a primary parking assignment in Pierson Sage will be offered an alternative parking assignment. To facilitate this process and ensure there are adequate spaces available for existing parkers, the University has paused all new parking assignments on and around Science Hill. New parkers will be assigned to the Science Park Garage and can choose to have their name added to a waitlist for when space becomes available at any of Science Hill’s existing lots or garages.

    To facilitate access to points of interest on Science Hill, a short-loop shuttle has been established by Yale Transit. The Brown Line begins its route at the Science Park Garage and ends at Lot 22 (260 Whitney Ave). The full loop takes approximately twelve minutes to complete.

    In addition to the short-loop shuttle, those assigned to the Science Park Garage are encouraged to download and use the LiveSafe app and/or Yale Security’s walking escort service, should you have any safety or security concerns.

    Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during these times of disruption to the University’s parking system.

    Parking at Yale is limited. Permit prices are based on a sliding scale.

    Any parking permit issued by Yale University must be displayed. Should you drive another vehicle without a permit, it is your duty to inform the Parking Department.

    All vehicles parked on University property must be registered, insured, and operable.

    Members of the Yale community who drive to work and do not participate in the Yale parking program are strongly discouraged from parking on residential streets in neighborhoods around Yale’s campus. Yale supports New Haven’s residential parking zones which help ensure adequate parking for New Haven residents. Enforcement actions such as tickets, towing, and booting of vehicles may result from parking violations. Please contact the Yale Parking Office for assistance with your parking needs.
