About the City
Founded by the Spanish in the 18th century, Santa Barbara is considered to be one of the jewels of the California coast. It lies approximately 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles, nestled against the Santa Ynez mountains, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.  Nearby are many excellent ocean beaches, lakes, forests and mountains with varied hiking trails. Daily excursions can be made to the Hearst Castle, the flower fields of Lompoc, the Old World Village of Solvang, the Mission, the famous Court House, or the Botanical Gardens.

On Wednesday and Thursday evening after 5:00 p.m., you may move your car if you choose from parking STRUCTURE 22 TO LOT 3, which is closer to the University Center OR where the buses will depart for Dinner at the Winery on Thursday.

Steps for Parking Permits

• You may purchase a new one-day permit each day from the "Pay & Display" machines, located in each parking lot or you can choose "DRC/EMC" from the menu on the machine and select the number of days you would like to purchase.
• Machines DO NOT give cash change, but do accept credit/debit cards.
• Purchase the permit and place on the dashboard of your car on the driver’s side, so that it is VISIBLE from outside the car.
