There will be NO parking on-grounds for Fairtime staff unless you carpool.
All temporary employees will be issued a parking sticker to be placed on the back of your rear-view mirror that will authorize parking at an off-site lot where shuttle service will be provided to/from the Fairgrounds. You will be notified by your supervisor prior to the first day of the Fair which off-site lot you should use.
CARPOOLING
Employees carpooling with 3 or more employees (passengers must have fairgrounds ID) will be authorized to park at the carpool lot next to Pelly’s mini golf. The same sticker issued to you for off-site parking will also be valid for the carpool lot.

FREE TRANSIT PASS/COASTER
Turn in your parking sticker at the Credentials Office window located across from the Clock Tower and choose between a COASTER pass (valid on the COASTER, SPRINTER, BREEZE, MTS Buses and Trolley services), or a Bus Pass valid on BREEZE Buses only. Shuttle service to/from the Fairgrounds will be provided at the Solana Beach COASTER station.
We are very excited to announce that the COASTER will be running late night service every day of the Fair. See the schedule below. For complete COASTER and transit schedules go to www.gonctd.com. NCTD will attempt to have a representative at all employee orientations to answer questions.
The COASTER Rail2Rail program allows monthly COASTER pass holders to board Amtrak trains as well and you may purchase this upgrade at an Amtrak ticket office. For information and pricing go to www.gonctd.com/R2R-Upgrade.
