Transportation and Parking Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS)Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS) The central campus is closed to motorized vehicles. Walking and bicycling are the most common ways to traverse the campus. Bicycles. All bicycles ridden or parked on campus must have a current California state bicycle license. You may buy a license or renewal tag at TAPS. Bicycle traffic and parking regulations are strictly enforced. Bikes may be parked only in designated parking areas and may only be secured to bike racks and pods. The Bicycle Program rents bicycle lockers on a quarterly or annual basis for storage of bicycles only. The ASUCD Bike Barn offers repairs and rentals, and sells used bikes, bicycle parts and accessories. Students can also check out tools to do their own repairs or maintenance. Parking. If you park a vehicle (including a motorcycle or moped) on campus, you must display a valid UC Davis parking permit or pay for time at a meter. Parking is permitted in marked spaces only, with permits displayed so all information is visible through the front window. You may purchase a daily visitor permit at permit dispensers in any visitor parking lot or at Parking Services. Visitor permits are valid in visitor lots and in “C” areas. After 5 p.m., they are also honored in “A” permit areas and at meters. All other lots require long-term permits, which you may purchase at Parking Services. Parking lots on campus are financed solely by user fees collected from parking permits sales and meter use. Motorist Assistance Services. TAPS provides complimentary on-campus motorist assistance services including vehicle lock-outs, battery jumps, gasoline retrieval and tire inflation services. Ridesharing.
