GCCCD makes every effort to provide safe and convenient parking for all who attend the college. Our campus has grown significantly so it's important that we maintain safe and suitable parking options. The costs associated with parking are high. Parking facilities require resurfacing and repaving every 5 to 7 years.

Here are some facts about parking:

• Parking is not FREE - Building, operating, maintaining, and providing security for parking facilities costs A LOT of money.
• Parking fees are necessary to build, operate, and maintain parking lots and provide adequate parking and safe movement of pedestrians and vehicles.
• Everybody likes free parking, including us. But just because we don't pay for it doesn't mean that the cost goes away. Somebody has to pay for it. And that somebody is everybody.
• To accommodate the diverse parking needs of the campus community, GCCCD will offer various types of parking permits, most of which may be purchased in advance online.
• Parking is authorized in designated parking spaces only. Parking spaces cannot be created. A parking space is designated by a white parking space line on each side or end of the vehicle. Vehicles must fit within the parking space lines.
• GCCCD permit rates and parking fines are generally amongst the lowest throughout the state.
• The revenue generated by parking fees can ONLY be used for building, operating, maintaining, and providing security for parking facilities on campus.
