Discover the Many Ways to Travel Around Cambridge

The City of Cambridge has many wonderful qualities. Wherever you look you can find shops, restaurants, clubs and parks to satisfy every taste. Cambridge also has a longstanding commitment to improving the quality of life for all of its citizens. One of the city’s strongest initiatives is the reduction of the number of single-occupant vehicles, with the goal of improving both air quality and the environment.

MIT is proud to work in partnership with the City of Cambridge to promote a variety of transportation alternatives. In 2005 MIT was chosen as an employer on the list of Best Workplaces for Commuters for offering commuter benefits that employees and job seekers highly value.

This website, brought to you by the Office of Parking and Transportation, provides all the information you need to take advantage of MIT's commuting options for bicycling, carpools, vanpools, public transportation, shuttles and parking.

It is designed to help you organize a seamless commute to wherever you are planning to go at MIT. Additionally, it provides all the information you need if you live on campus or are planning to drive and park in and around the campus.

So enjoy browsing through our site, and if you have any questions, please direct them to mitparking@mit.edu.

News Updates

New parking meter rates

Starting the second week of April, 2008, parking meter rates in Harvard Square and Kendall Square will increase. One of the reasons for the new rates is to increase turnover at the parking meters. The increase should: discourage people from parking at a meter all day; allow each space to be used by multiple parkers; and allow patrons to park while shopping or visiting the businesses in the areas.

The new rates will be:

$0.25 for 15 minutes
$0.50 for 30 minutes
$0.75 for 45 minutes
$1.00 for 1 hour
$2.00 for 2 hours

Always remember to read the signs in the affected area. The time limit and hours are posted on the signs.

East Lot is officially closed

In order to allow for the construction of the new cancer research building, MIT has closed the East Parking Lot. The Parking and Transportation Office has notified affected departments and over 200 parking spaces are being relocated.

Contact Your Parking Coordinator
Those employees who parked in the East Lot should have been notified by their Parking Coordinator and told the location of their new space.

Visitor Parking
Reservations for visitor parking are still accepted via SAPweb. Visitor parking spaces are now in the Hayward Surface Parking Lot. As a result, several Hayward Lot parkers are being relocated.

Parking after hours
Parkers with an MIT permit are allowed to park after 2:30 in the following lots: Stata Center, Buildings 44/46 and Hayward Lot. After 5 PM, people without an MIT parking permit are allowed to park in either the Buildings 44/46 Lot or the Hayward Lot.

There will be no parking in the new building and the East Lot will not reopen. Questions about the changes in parking may be directed to mitparking@mit.edu.
