    Parking

    Parking around the UC Berkeley Campus can be difficult.

    We encourage visitors to take public transportation.

    Instructions from BART

    1. If you take Bart, get off at the Downtown Berkeley station.
    2. Take the UC Berkeley Shuttle (Cost: $1)
      Note that it is possible to walk from Bart to Cory Hall, but the walk is 20 minutes uphill.
      The UC Berkeley Shuttle stop is on Shattuck between Center and Addison. Unfortunately, Shattuck Ave is split at that location, so the shuttle stop can be confusing to find, see the map below:

      downtown berkeley
      The shuttle stop is on the East side (toward the hills) of Berkeley Square.

      Get off at Cory Hall, located on Hearst Ave, just past Soda Hall.

    Pay Parking at the Lower Hearst Lot

    See the UC Berkeley Public Parking Site. The Lower Hearst lot has a few slots pay spaces that are open to the public. As of January, 2013 parking was $15/day.
