Parking Information

Parking at the conference will be provided in a garage called the Wilson Parking Structure #1. It is located at 341 Wilson Avenue and has the number 123 on the Caltech campus map (click here for map). Attendees will be responsible for parking fees which are collected at the garage when you park your car via two automatic pay stations. Payment can be made by US dollars, coins, or credit card. Fees are $1 per hour up to 4 hours or $5 all day. The machine issues a receipt which must be placed on the inside of your vehicle and visible through the windshield. The garage is open 24 hours. Please note: the parking is free of charge on Saturday.
