LMA/Cambridge Reciprocal Parking Agreement

Cambridge or Allston Parking: 

Harvard employees who hold valid Longwood Medical Area (LMA) daytime parking permits, but have occasional, short-term University business on the Cambridge or Allston campuses, are authorized to park in the following areas on a space-available basis on weekdays between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m.:  

  • 10 Everett Street Garage  
  • 52 Oxford Street Garage  
  • Broadway Garage - Levels 3 and Above  
  • Business School Lot (with overflow directed to Soldiers Field Park Garage) 

Any exception or special request must be pre-approved through the Campus Service Center by email. 

HLC Parking: 

Employees holding valid annual Harvard University Cambridge/Allston permits are authorized to park on the Harvard Longwood Campus (HLC) in the Quad Garage located at 200 Longwood Avenue on a space-available basis, weekdays 6:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. This reciprocal parking is only for employees with short-term business-related meetings on the HMS campus, not full-day parking. If you have business in the Longwood Medical Area that is not in a Harvard building, you should plan to park at a local public parking facility.  

Provide one day notice prior to parking at HLC 

  • Due to the limited availability of parking spaces at the Harvard Longwood Campus, the HMS Parking Office encourages you to provide one-day advance notice before you arrive at the HLC. Reciprocal parking spaces can be reserved by emailing your name, vehicle information, contact number, and HU parking location to parking@hms.harvard.edu or by calling the HMS Commuter Services and Parking Office at (617) 432-1111. 
  • Cambridge/Allston visitors holding any permit other than an annual HU permit may have parking reserved for them by a department representative here and will be charged a 33-digit department billing code. 
  • Visitors to the HLC who do not hold an HU permit may purchase a daily permit here, Monday through Friday. 

HMS Commuter Services and Parking staff are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.  

Please note: Valet parking will be in effect at the Quad Garage as needed.
