UCSF has announced that employees at its Parnassus and Mission Bay campuses will no longer have access to campus parking starting June 1, 2024, a decision that has sparked concern among staff. Many employees expressed disbelief at the sudden change, revealing fears over increased commute times and safety issues at off-site parking locations. UCSF cited the need to prioritize parking for patients and visitors due to heightened demand. Staff must now rely on shuttles from off-site facilities, with limited availability and concerns about safety at certain locations like the Japantown Center garage.
"On March 31st, we got this email announcing that staff would no longer be able to park in the staff garage, and I didn't quite believe it..."
"Now, with demand higher than ever, we need to prioritize access for patients and visitors. These changes primarily impact those parking at Parnassus during peak hours."
"My hour drive would essentially be an hour and a half drive to go from Petaluma, California to San Francisco."
"The lot in Japantown, people have these huge safety concerns regarding leaving their car parked there, and even walking to and from the garage."
