Parking During the School Term and During the Day
Due to the scarcity of parking on our urban campus, we strongly encourage parents to drop off their students in the morning and pick them up at the end of the day. For large programs like Splash and Spark, we will often open up larger parking lots, which will be posted to that program's information page.
Parking During the Summer
For students who plan to commute to the MIT campus regularly during the summer, the following parking options are more economical:
Several MIT lots are permit-free after 5pm:
