Park and Ride

Park and Ride lots are centrally located pick up spots where commuters can park their cars during the work or school day to meet a carpool, vanpool, or bus ride. Most are located along highways or near transit centers. Parking is free for public use during specified hours, but no overnight parking is allowed.

There are six Park and Ride lots that serve Santa Cruz county commuters, and many more in surrounding counties. Click here to download a user guide and map of park and ride lot locations. You can use a Park and Ride lot:

to meet a ride if your house is off the beaten path
to connect with your carpool or vanpool
to take the bus
to avoid congestion by parking before you hit a bottleneck

Commute Solutions is in the process of identifying new locations and needed improvements to the park and ride lot system. We welcome your suggestions.
