Frequently Asked Questions 

I'm planning to go to Palo Alto on a weekday. Where can I park?

There are a number of parking options in Palo Alto for visitors, including the following:

  • Park off-street in garages or lots. Most will allow you to park free of charge for 2 to 3 hours (check signage in the garage/lot)
  • If you’re parking for a longer period of time in a garage, purchase a daily parking permit at the Cowper/Webster garage, Bryant/Lytton garage, 350 Sherman garage or Revenue Collections in City Hall
  • Park on-street for up to 2 hours in the color zone or RPP district.

How long are daily permits valid for?

Daily permits can only be used on the specified date.

How can I park while visiting a resident in the RPP district?

Anyone may park in the RPP district for up to 2 hours without a permit. If you’ll be visiting longer, you may obtain a visitor daily scratcher from the resident to use while parking on-street.

If you are a recurrent visitor (such as a caretaker, nanny, etc.), each resident may purchase long-term visitor passes for your use.
