Parking At A Glance

What to do
Accessible spaces are on every level of the Grand Avenue structure near elevators and on the south side of the lower level by the track; display a valid DMV placard or plate. Because the page conflicts about passes, confirm accessible parking conditions with 805-756-6654. Campus restrictions remain enforced around the clock.
Best option
Cal Poly’s current page says parking is included with all athletics tickets beginning in the 2026 season, with no parking permit required. The Grand Avenue Parking Structure serves Mott. Follow current event signs and confirm that your parking falls within the event arrangement.
Avoid
Do not apply football priority lots or an older parking price to Mott. The same parking page retains an older accessible-parking paragraph requiring an event pass, which conflicts with the newer 2026 statement.
