How to Know Where You Can Park in Isla Vista

UCSB
Dockless bike share parking for HOPR Transit App in UCSB

While some HOPR Ponds (designated parking areas) are marked by signage and painted white lines with the text ‘HOPR Parking’, not all Ponds are as obvious. In some cases, you may simply see a bike rack with no signage, as is the case with some UCSB bike lots and local parks with bike racks.

If you are unsure about whether or not you can end your ride at a certain location the HOPR app is your best point of reference. HOPR Ponds are indicated with a ‘P’ and the available area is shaded in green on the system map. Parking in these areas will ensure you are not subject to a $2 Out-of-Pond fee.
