Directions

From the Airport

San Diego International Airport - Lindbergh Field (SAN) is the nearest major public airport, about 14 miles south of UCSD. There are a number of private shuttles, taxi, and rideshare services around the airport that offer transportation directly to UCSD. As of September 2022, price is roughly ~$50.00 and the commute time is about 25 minutes (subject to traffic delays).

Another option (less expensive but more time consuming - about 1-hour total transit time) is to use public transportation:

  • Take the "San Diego Flyer" shuttle from the Airport to the "Old Town Transit Center" trolley station, then take the "Blue Line Trolley" (light rail transit) north-bound towards UTC, and stop and offboard at the "UCSD Central Campus" trolley station.
  • OR
  • Take the "Bus Route 992" from the Airport to the "Broadway and Kettner Blvd" bus stop, walk north across the Broadway street to the "Santa Fe Depot" trolley station, then take the "Blue Line Trolley" (light rail transit) north-bound towards UTC, and stop and offboard at the "UCSD Central Campus" trolley station.

After your arrival to the airport, be sure to double-check the schedule and availability for all public transportation routes to confirm they are still available as they are subject to change.  Buses, shuttles, and trolleys do not operate during certain hours.  You must pay a one-way fare for each leg of the route.

Driving from South of La Jolla

  • Take Interstate 5 North.
  • Exit on the La Jolla Village Drive offramp.
  • Turn left (continuing West).

 

  • La Jolla Village Drive will curve and become North Torrey Pines Road.
  • Turn right at Muir College Drive (continuing East) to enter the campus. 
  • Go past the Scholars Drive North intersection. You should see the multi-level underground Scholars Parking Structure directly ahead in the corner. It is below the "Catalyst" and "Mosaic" buildings. 
  • Immediately, turn right into the Scholars Parking Structure north-side entrance.
  • Park in any of the parking spaces marked with a black-and-white "V".  Do not park in any of the red "A" spaces, green "B" spaces, yellow "S" spaces, or spaces with restricted usage signs (e.g. RESERVED, UC Vehicle Only, etc.).
  • Buy a visitor parking permit at a pay station kiosk using a credit card OR Pay by App (ParkMobile - Use zone number "4752" for UCSD Main Campus).  As of July 2024, visitor parking permits are \$4.50/hour or \$36.00/day (prices subject to change).  Don't forget to account for the walking travel time between your parking space and the AP&M building.
  • If you do not purchase a valid parking permit for the parking space, you risk being fined by UCSD Police.  As of July 2023, parking citation penalty fines start at $80.00+ per violation (penalty fines subject to change).
  • The Applied Physics and Mathematics (AP&M) Building is located south of the Scholars Parking Structure (about a ~2-minute walk).  See UCSD Maps below.

Due to campuswide parking congestion/construction and frequently-changing parking lot restrictions/reservations, visitors should arrive early before any scheduled appointments/events in order to obtain a valid parking permit and parking space.
As of June 18, 2018, Parking Lots P207 and P208 closest to AP&M that were listed in older campus maps have permanently closed and were replaced with the Scholars Parking Structure in Fall 2020.
Other nearby parking to AP&M are Parking Lots P206, P303, P304, the Pangea Parking Structure, the Hopkins Parking Structure, the South Parking Structure, and the Theatre District Parking Structure. Please see Visitor Parking for more detailed information.  Parking without a valid permit of the correct type for the parking space may result in being fined by UCSD Police.  You are responsible for obtaining a valid parking permit for your parked vehicle at all times.
