Eligibility

  • To qualify for the Clean Air Cash trial, you must be a full-time, benefits-eligible, day shift employee of Stanford Health Care (SHC) or Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH), working 100% onsite at the Stanford Medicine Palo Alto Hospital Campus or Welch Road properties (700, 750, 770, 777, 801, 900, 1000, and 1100 Welch Road). You must not purchase any monthly Stanford parking permit and may only purchase up to 4 daily permits per month to maintain eligibility.
  • Remember - if you purchased a monthly parking permit and want to participate in the Clean Air Cash trial, you will need to return or cancel your monthly permit before the start of the new month.

For the purposes of Clean Air Cash program eligibility, the Stanford Medicine Palo Alto Hospital Campus does not include the following locations, which have staff parking options outside of the paid parking permit program.

  • 1190 Welch Road
  • Stanford Shopping Center

At this time, Stanford University employees, hybrid workers, remote workers, offsite staff, swing/evening/night shift, and rotational staff are not eligible for the trial program.


Join the Clean Air Cash trial to receive payments as a credit on your paycheck for each month you are a part of and eligible for the Commute Club. To earn the credit for any month, you must sign up before the end of that month and have qualified for the entire month. For example, to receive a credit for June, you must sign up no later than June 30th and have met all eligibility requirements for the entire month.
