Parking
NOTE: Parking is currently extremely limited and not guaranteed around the lab due to construction. Please see our construction update page for more information.
Parking is very expensive in New Haven, and most people can get by without a car (in inclement weather, you can Uber/Lyft across the city for about $10, parking is likely $25+). If you are driving, most Yale lots are free and open to the public, but only after hours (5pm - 7am). For all other times, there are a few visitor lots nearby with hourly or daily parking fees. The closest pay-by-app lot is Lot 16V (Parkmobile, location 2087). See Yale Parking Maps for more information. Note: There may be limited availability in Lot 16, for a daily fee. Check with your host for more information.
For more information about, and to pay for street parking, please see the New Haven Parking website.
