About Student Parking
Having a car on campus isn't necessary! Yale now offers 11 Zipcars located around the campus. Zipcar is a car sharing company that lets you use a car by the hour or day. Why pay to store your car on campus, when you can have a car - that comes with parking and gas costs included - whenever you want it?
You may pay to park in a Yale garage, a Yale surface lot, or in private sector parking. Keep in mind that in addition to Zipcar, Yale has an extensive shuttle system that is free to the University community, and the shuttles' locations can be viewed in real time. The local transit district, CTTransit also provides access throughout the greater New Haven area.
These options make it easy to be car-free on campus.
Parking on the Central Campus
Graduate or undergraduate resident students living in residential colleges, annexes, or graduate and professional dormitories (except Divinity Students) are offered parking in the Pierson-Sage Garage. Pierson-Sage is a University-owned garage operated by the Yale Parking and Transit Services Department. Located at the corner of Whitney Avenue & Edwards Street, the garage consists primarily of covered spaces, and uncovered spaces on the roof.
