Accessible Parking on Campus
There are designated accessible metered parking spaces throughout Yale’s campus on New Haven streets. These are first-come, first-serve and do require use of the meter by Connecticut State Law. Accessible parking tags and license plates from other U.S. states are honored in the city.
If an accessible parking space in a Yale-owned parking lot is needed, please contact SAS.
Campus Transportation Services
There is a fixed shuttle route and Accessible Transit vans that service the Yale community. Both are managed and operated by Yale’s Parking and Transit Department.
To learn more about the fixed shuttle route, see Yale University Shuttle Services.
