UCR is committed to a culture of engagement and has included this commitment as a fundamental cornerstone of the campus’ Strategic Plan. This commitment to engagement has guided the creation and adoption of a program that welcomes the community to campus and encourages participation in UCR’s vibrant academic, cultural, and programs and gatherings. To further ensure and support community access, central campus funding has been made available to provide complimentary parking to community visitors attending academic, outreach, student, and cultural events that are free and open to the campus and community.
The CPP utilizes UCR’s current process for obtaining parking and event services providing seamless integration for campus event planners and hosts. The program will allow all guests coming to the event who use the provided parking options for the event to park with a complimentary virtual parking permit. The only Transportation Services related fees the event sponsor remains responsible for are; space reservations, wayfinding, and parking attendants, if needed. These services are not required.
To qualify for the Community Parking Program (CPP), an event must be:
- Open to the public
- Accept walk-in attendees
- Free to attend
- Posted on events.ucr.edu
For more information on the program, please visit the extended CPP page. To schedule an event, please fill out the Event Parking Services Request or contact Transportation Services’ Event Parking office at (951) 827-1295.
