USD Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice
5998 Alcala Park| San Diego, CA 92110

USD has a beautiful campus but like all college campuses parking sometimes presents a challenge. We don’t want this to be a concern for you the day of the event so we are providing this helpful USD parking guide so you don’t have to stress about parking the day of the event.
As a bonus, our parking sponsor, Jackson Lewis will be covering the cost of parking for the day of the event, but you will need to get a permit at the parking kiosk. From the parking lot you can either take a tram or take a short uphill walk to the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice.
