Parking Allocation and Triton Transit Service Updates

Transportation Services is excited to welcome the UC San Diego community back to campus for the fall academic quarter in a few weeks. In preparation, we will be making several updates to parking allocations and transit operations.

Parking Allocation Updates

The opening of the Theatre District Parking Structure, along with new limits on resident parking permits, will significantly shift parking utilization during the fall quarter. Parking and Commuter Services is making several allocation changes in anticipation of this shift. It will also monitor utilization and make mid-quarter adjustments as parking normalizes.  

  • Torrey Pines Center South Parking Structure: 130 S spaces will transition to B spaces
  • Hopkins Parking Structure: 29 SR spaces will transition to S spaces
  • Scholars Parking Structure: 13 SR spaces will transition to B spaces
  • Pangea Parking Structure: 200 SR spaces will transition to S spaces
  • South Parking Structure: 100 SR spaces will transition to A spaces
  • Theatre District Parking Structure will add:
    • 325 A spaces
    • 355 B spaces
    • 50 SR spaces
    • 210 V spaces
    • 95 EV spaces
    • 65 2-hour carpool spaces (S after 11 a.m.)

Triton Transit Route and Stop Adjustments (Effective Sunday, September 8)

Mesa Loop
The current Mesa South route will be replaced with the Mesa Loop route, which was successfully piloted in late August 2024. The new route avoids pedestrian, micromobility and vehicular conflicts in Mandeville Loop while expanding access to the new UC San Diego Extension building at 8980 Villa La Jolla Drive and directly serving more of our biomedical facilities. The route maintains important connections to the campus Inside Loop, Outside Loop and SIO routes as well as connections to MTS and NCTD lines.

Inside Loop and Outside Loop
With Scholars Drive South reopened, stops will be returned to Eighth College/Theatre District and Revelle College.

The Warren College stops will be relocated further west adjacent to Franklin Antonio and Atkinson halls to improve connectivity to the Hopkins Parking Structure.

The bus stop serving Seventh College (West) will be relocated south, just past the new raised crosswalk, to improve pedestrian and rider safety.

Grocery Shuttle – Convoy
The bus stop within the parking lot at South Mesa will be removed, and riders can board the Grocery Shuttle at the Central Mesa stop to the east.

Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) Shuttle
The SIO Shuttle route will be adding stops serving the new UC San Diego Extension building at 8980 Villa La Jolla Drive. With Scholars Drive South reopened, stops will be returned at Eighth College/Theatre District (North), and Revelle College (West) stops.

Fall Quarter 2024

Service times and frequencies for some routes will change on Sunday, September 22 in preparation for fall quarter. For the most current Triton Transit information, check our website.
