A great choice for surface parking lot, 8 Mount Auburn street is much more easily accessible than some of the other on-campus parking lots or garages.
It can be easily missed if it's your first time here. The entrance is to the east of building 8 Mount Auburn Street. You will need to slowly get over to the bus lane in order to enter. Watch out for bikers and pedestrians since it gets busy.
Morning and afternoon rush traffic always takes a long time to enter or exit, so give yourself plenty of time. Once at the lot, you can park anywhere where there is a signage that says "8 MTA permit parking only." There are also residents who live here, so definitely go very slow. Right now, it's $12 daily rate from 7 AM to 11:30 PM for Harvard affiliates. A much more affordable option than the private lots nearby. read more
