Buy and distribute parking permits before the event.

  • Departments can obtain discounted One Day or One Night parking permits for event guests.

    To obtain discounted permits:

  • Submit a Parking Permit Recharge Request Form (Word file) to the Gilman Parking Office, Mail Code 0040 or fax (858) 534-3043. Allow at least 3 working days to process request.

    Discounted permit fees:

    • One Day: $6
    • One Night: $3
  • Develop a system for distributing permits to your guests. Departments are responsible for issuing permits to their guests.

Hire parking attendants to sell permits to event guests.

  • For high-volume events, parking attendants can sell One Day or One Night permits to guests on site. This option reduces traffic and helps direct guests to specific lots or structures.

    To hire attendants:

  • Contact Special Events Parking or submit a parking space request to obtain approval.
  • Special Events Parking Services will recharge your department for the attendants’ time.
  • The number of attendants depends on the number of vehicles expected.

Use the permit flier service.

  • A parking attendant can issue complimentary permit fliers to guests. Especially useful for high-profile guests, this service lets event guests park quickly.

    To use the permit flier service:

  • Contact Special Events Parking or submit a parking space request to obtain approval.
  • Work with Special Events Parking staff to develop the event flier.
  • Special Events Parking Services will recharge your department for the permit cost and the attendants' time.
