PARKING STRUCTURES:
We recommend the following parking structures, in order of convenience:
Parking Structure P9 (Prepaid ePermit / ParkMobile only)
Closest to the Court of Sciences. Take the elevator to the top floor and walk toward CNSI (a few stairs near the Food Court area).
Parking Structure P2 (Prepaid ePermit / Pay Station / ParkMobile)
Best option for accessibility, strollers, or those avoiding stairs. Slightly farther but offers the easiest path to the event area.
Parking Structure P8 (Prepaid ePermit / Pay Station / ParkMobile)
Recommended as a last resort if the other structures are full.

PUBLIC TRANSIT:
We understand parking on campus is not free, and spaces can fill up quickly. We strongly encourage visitors to take public transit if possible!
UCLA is served by multiple bus lines, including Big Blue Bus, Culver CityBus, and Metro, with several stops near the Court of Sciences. Many routes connect directly from Westwood Village, Santa Monica, Culver City, and other nearby neighborhoods.
Plan your trip using your preferred map app or UCLA’s Getting to Campus page.
Please make sure that you follow one of the above methods for parking payment to avoid receiving a ticket from the UCLA Transportation Office. If you have questions about parking or public transit, please reach out to universe@g.ucla.edu and our communications team will be in touch with you as quickly as possible.
