It is easy to enter the Pasteur Staff Garage with your carpool riders.
Simply pull up to the right entry gate of the garage, and it will open
automatically.
1. When you arrive at the parking garage with your
carpool riders, please enter via the right entry gate
- Only the right gate should be used for carpool parking
- When you pull up, the gate should open automatically
2. If the gate does not open:
- Open the Stanford Medicine Parking app
- Select "Reservations" at the bottom to view your reservation
- Enlarge the QR code by selecting it
- Scan the QR code at the entry machine to open the gate
Your carpool group must enter the garage together to verify the
carpool group’s status. If any of the rider's status shows as "Not
Scanned", the parking permit will revert back to the full price or to the
price for the number of riders who are scanned. Please note, the
carpool verification should automatically occur using your Global
Positioning System (GPS) location.
1. Within 5 minutes of entering the garage, each rider’s
status should automatically change to “Scanned”. This
means that the carpooler is verified
Select the refresh button on the top right-hand corner if a rider's status does not change to "Scanned"
2. If riders are not automatically scanned within 4 minutes (there is a visible timer in the "Reservations" tab), each rider should enlarge their QR code and the driver must select "Scan Riders" to manually scan each rider's QR Code
3. All riders must be verified (scanned) within 5 minutes to receive the discounted carpool parking price
If any of the riders are not scanned, the parking permit will revert to the full price or to the price for the number of riders who are scanned
To exit the garage, open the reservation page in the app and select the exit lane (either the left exit lane or the right exit lane).
1. When you are ready to leave for the day, open the
reservation page on the app – you should see two
buttons: “Left Exit” and “Right Exit”
When you are pulling up to the garage exit gate, select the appropriate button to open the gate

code from your reservation again at the exit machine
- If you have trouble exiting, push the intercom button on the machine or call 650.736.8000
