Transportation & Parking

We encourage main campus staff to walk or use campus shuttles. The Medical Center, Mesa Nueva, North Campus, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, South Campus and West Campus Connector shuttles will be running during the summer sessions.

From off-campus, staff are encouraged to take the Blue line trolley to the UC San Diego Central Campus Station. The Epstein Family Amphitheater is located next to the trolley station.

For off-campus staff who are driving in, special parking accommodations will be available in lots 704 and 705. Event shuttle service will be provided to take staff from these lots to the shuttle stop at the Design and Innovation Building. Follow signage to the event entrance. Event shuttle service will be available from 11 am to 2:30 pm.
