Parking Prioritization Guidelines
Available onsite parking will reflect the operations that occur onsite prioritizing patient care delivery. Due to the limited supply, Control Points will distribute their allocations, prioritizing the following roles and for those requesting parking:
- Patient-care delivery physicians (including GME trainees) who must park due to unpredictable schedules such as consult duties or serve multiple locations in one day.
- Non-clinical staff with responsibilities that require response to life-safety emergencies on/off campus on a 24/7 basis.
- Senior leaders who oversee critical functions that directly impact patient care and/or institutional success, requiring frequent in-person presence across campuses.
Additional factors which may be considered when prioritizing a limited allocation intended for the above roles include:
- Department and position
- Percentage of time at each location
- Unpredictable schedules throughout the workday
- Unpredictable movement between locations throughout the workday
- Time of workday/shifts, particularly early mornings and late nights
- Proximity to campuses and access to alternate commute modes
- Date of Hire
The above populations who can’t park onsite due to availability of supply should be prioritized for parking in the alternative parking locations that UCSF is investing in.
Control Points
The Guidelines pertain to the allocations being further distributed by these identified Control Points:
- Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost
- School of Dentistry
- School of Medicine
- School of Nursing
- School of Pharmacy
- UCSF Health
- UCSF Chancellor on behalf of all other Control Points not listed
Available onsite parking will reflect the operations that occur onsite prioritizing patient care delivery. Due to the limited supply, Control Points will distribute their allocations.
