https://www-als.lbl.gov/index.php/visitors/parking.html

Finding a parking space at Berkeley Lab can be very difficult. Users are strongly encouraged to use the Berkeley Lab shuttles whenever possible (see Directions, Maps).

Parking Permits

Parking at Berkeley Lab and the ALS is by permit only. Signs in each parking lot designate the types of permit required for that area. Cars parked in no-parking areas or reserved spaces without appropriate permits may be cited or towed.

A one-day permit must be obtained at the Berkeley Lab Main Gate (Blackberry Gate). Longer term parking permits are issued by the Berkeley Lab Site Access Office (Building 65A, by the bus stop after the main gate), to eligible ALS users after their registration is completed.
