Parking at MIT

Parking in Cambridge and Boston are quite difficult due to limited space. Visitors who drive to MIT should note that MIT has no visitor parking available. You can park your car at the hotel where you are staying and use public transportation to get to the MIT campus. If you must drive to the campus, there are both on- and off-street parking spots available, but most public parking is not very close to the center of campus (unless you arrive very early in the morning or late in the evening).

Street Parking

You will find metered parking on Vassar Street and Memorial Drive, but these spots fill up early (often by 8 a.m.) To find a spot near the main buildings, you will need to arrive by 7 a.m. Main Street and Mass. Ave. (in front of MIT) have one- and two-hour parking meters. Parking along Main Street or Massachusetts Avenue will mean regular trips to pay the parking meter. Albany Street and Portland Street have free and two-hour parking. During the workday, Memorial Drive, Albany, Portland, and Main Streets are the best options. After the workday, finding a parking spot isn’t nearly as hard; night and weekend parking near campus is generally not difficult to locate.
