The central campus is closed to motor vehicles. Walking and bicycling are the usual ways to traverse the campus, though some students prefer inline skates.
Bicycles. All bicycles ridden or parked on campus must have a current California state bicycle license. You may get a license or renewal tag at TAPS. Bicycle riding and parking regulations are strictly enforced. Be sure to lock your bicycle to the provided racks and pods--bike theft is common in Davis. The Bicycle Program rents bicycle lockers, located adjacent to Hickey Gym and the Rec Hall, on a quarterly or annual basis for storage of bicycles only. The ASUCD Bike Barn offers repairs and rentals, and sells 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 have a valid parking permit or pay at a meter. You may buy a daily permit at dispensers in any visitor parking lot. All other lots require long-term permits, which you may purchase at Parking Services. Parking lots on campus are financed solely by fees collected from parking permits and meters.
Buses. Unitrans, 13 bus lines operated by the Associated Students, serves the campus and city year round. Unitrans is free to undergraduate students with a valid registration card; others may ride by paying the single ride fare or by purchasing passes from TAPS or at the Campus Box Office. Full service is provided each UC Davis school day (Monday through Friday) and Monday through Thursday night during the regular school year--fall, winter and spring quarters. Reduced schedule service operates during the summer, finals week, all academic break periods and on Saturdays. Unitrans also operates a shuttle from Amtrak on Saturday and Sunday for undergraduate students. Schedules are available at the MU Campus Information Center, bus terminals, Davis City Hall and the Unitrans office.
Ridesharing. UC Davis encourages ridesharing. Registered carpools and vanpools receive reduced parking rates and preferential parking. For information on transportation alternatives, public transit, or commuter match assistance, call 752-MILE (752-6453).
Shuttles. The UCD/UCDMC Shuttle provides hourly service Monday through Friday between the Davis campus and the medical center in Sacramento. The shuttle is available to all members of the UC Davis community. You may purchase shuttle passes at Parking Services or the Cashier's Office. Departmental business passes are available at Parking Services.
The Intracampus Bus provides transportation between the Davis campus and the Berkeley campus for university employees, registered students and other university affiliates. Call Fleet Services at 752-8287 for schedule information and reservations.
