IMPORTANT FALL 2026 PARKING NOTICE

the free SJSU shuttle to the main campus from there. Another option is to leverage
the VTA Bay Pass for utilizing public transportation. Find out more at go.sjsu.edu/transportation

disruptions are expected continue through the start of the semester, plan ahead.
Permit holders and campus visitors to the Main Campus are encouraged to use the West Garage or South Garage during this time to help minimize delays and congestion. Visit the new transportation hub for alternative options for students and employees to get to campus.
