Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS) supports the University’s mission by providing access to UC Santa Cruz, acting as fiscal stewards, and managing the sustainable planning, design, and operation of safe and equitable bicycle/pedestrian programs, transit services, parking, and other transportation-related needs.


TAPS is dedicated to being innovative, sustainable, and customer-focused providers of access to UC Santa Cruz.



The Advisory Committee on Campus Transportation and Parking (ACCTP) reviews policies, plans, capital improvement projects, and both existing and proposed transportation, parking, and circulation programs and services for the UCSC main campus, 2300 Delaware Avenue, and the Coastal Science Campus. The committee should also be engaged in discussions about the transportation-related services at other campus-owned facilities and satellite campuses. Their primary objective is to recommend a sustainable funding model that a) ensures adequate support of programs, services and infrastructure to provide access to campus-owned facilities and b) aligns with campus goals related to sustainability and the limits imposed on campus by the Long Range Development Plan (LRDP).Guidance documents include long range development plans, major and minor capital improvement programs, sustainability plans, climate action plans, agreements with Santa Cruz City and County, mitigation monitoring programs, and applicable University, regional, state, and federal policies and regulations. The committee will advise on annual updates to the 10-Year Parking Plan and 5-Year Transit Plan, and associated fee and fare proposals necessary to support those Plans. Staff to the Committee will provide data and analysis to inform decision-making, such as traffic counts, mode split data, parking utilization, transit ridership trends, survey results, and budget documents.
