DIRECT ANSWER

For UC Santa Cruz faculty and staff, answer this with the exact building or work site and actual shift times, current parking, transit, shuttle, walking and cycling rules, and peak and off-peak travel plus backup commute options. CH2 uses current school-specific sources where available and flags missing employee-specific data instead of borrowing a rule, price or benefit from another university.

  • Verify the exact building or work site and actual shift times.
  • Verify current parking, transit, shuttle, walking and cycling rules.
  • Verify peak and off-peak travel plus backup commute options.

For UC Santa Cruz, CH2 currently has a faculty/staff-specific primary source for this exact question: UC Santa Cruz — Parking and Program Rates Effective July 1, 2026.

Verified local evidence: Effective July 1, 2026: annual A $841.63, N $148.50 and faculty/staff annual bus pass $297.60; digital daily A and other daily options remain available.

Before acting, verify the exact appointment type, property or address, work site and date that apply to you. Student-market sources can support enrollment, rental-demand and lease-cycle questions, but they are not treated as proof of an employee benefit or rule. A source about another university or an older employee anecdote is never treated as proof for University of California, Santa Cruz.
