Parking

Fall 2023 parking permits are available! Here are a few very important updates...

New Parking System

We recently completed the transition to a new, all-in-one parking system from Parking Management Bureau. The new system includes "single sign-on" which is a fancy way of saying that you will be able to login using the same credentials you use for insideCC. The new system also simplifies the information you enter to obtain a permit.

What does this mean for you? Ordering parking permits will be more streamlined and much easier. We are also working hard to provide as much flexibility as possible as we all transition to the new system. We're here for you!

Parking Facts

CCCC makes every effort to provide safe and convenient parking for all who attend the college. Our campus has grown significantly since students began bringing cars to campus in 1973, and so it's important that we maintain safe and suitable parking options. The costs associated with parking are high. Parking facilities require resurfacing and repaving every 5 to 10 years. Beginning with the spring 2014 semester, Cerro Coso Community College will require Parking Permits at all parking lots located on the Ridgecrest campus.

• Parking is not FREE - Building, operating, maintaining, and providing security for parking facilities costs A LOT of money.
• Parking fees are necessary to build, operate, and maintain parking lots and provide adequate parking and safe movement of pedestrians and vehicles.
• Everybody likes free parking, including us. But just because we don't pay for it doesn't mean that the cost goes away. Somebody has to pay for it. And that somebody is everybody.
• Parking is authorized in designated parking spaces only. Parking spaces cannot be created. A parking space is designated by a white parking space line on each side or end of the vehicle. Vehicles must fit within the parking space lines.
• Cerro Coso permit rates and parking fines are among the lowest throughout the state.

The revenue generated by parking fees can ONLY be used for building, operating, maintaining, and providing security for parking facilities on campus.
