HARVARD PARKING

We are committed to providing safe, reliable parking as well as related motorist assistance to the University community.  We support the mission of the University through a collaborative effort that emphasizes flexibility, fairness, sensitivity, and mutual respect.

Motorist Assistance Program – (M.A.P.)

This service is available free-of-charge to all faculty, staff, students and visitors parked on Harvard University property who need help changing a tire, charging a dead battery, retrieving keys that have been locked inside a vehicle or run out of gas.

M.A.P. service is available 24 hours, 7 days a week (including University holidays), by calling 617-496-HELP (4357).

Biking

  • Bike racks are located at the main entrance and second floor back entrance.  Resources are available to bikers on the Harvard Commuter Choice Bike page including discounted helmets, benefits, parking on campus and bike share programs.
  • Students, faculty, and staff are strongly encouraged to register their bicycles. Registration serves as a deterrent to theft and can help in the recovery of stolen bicycles. The serial number is recorded and an identifying sticker is placed on your bicycle.
