Introducing Daily Rates for Parking

Daily Rate Overview

Our campus parking system is in need of an upgrade. Commute patterns are changing and Transportation Services (TS) is adapting operations in a way that can better serve campus and Aggies with flexible work and class schedules. Introducing a daily parking option allows for the campus community to pay for parking as they need. 

You pay for the days you park, not for the days you don’t.

Offering monthly permits doesn't make sense as it used to. While Aggies continue to do their part to fully resume campus operations, we anticipate the number of employees and students visiting campus to remain low until the Fall quarter. Daily parking rates offer daily choices to staff and student drivers who are adapting to virtual work/learning as part of regular flexible schedules. For staff and those regularly driving to campus, daily parking rates are particularly important as a large portion of our workforce will continue working remotely for the foreseeable future. Similarly, daily rates will allow students to easily pay for the days they park on campus, rather than pay for an entire month. Plus, you can pay for parking from your phone with ParkMobile!

Valid in non-restricted (ADA areas, red zones, etc.) A Zone spaces. If you pay to park in one A zone, you are able to move to another non-restricted A, C or L zone space without paying a second time. Students may purchase A Zone Access after 5 pm. C and L zone access permits are eligible to park in A zones after 5 p.m. 

    A+ Zone Access - The A+ parking reservations are accessed through the ParkMobile app, or online, and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Departments may also use this feature for guests by setting up a ParkMobile departmental account (using a P-Card and departmental email address). This is a great option for those who want to secure a parking stall and know it will be available when they arrive up until noon on the reservation day.

    C Zone Access - Available via ParkMobile to commuting faculty, staff, and students (affiliate rates in Daily C are not available to those who have a monthly LRPP).

C zone permit holders may park in an A area after 5 p.m. 

    C+ Zone Access - C+ Zone parking are flexible parking stalls within A Zones, available daily for UC Davis employees and students.

C+ Zone access is available via ParkMobile and is the same daily rate as that of A Zone parking. C+ zones are located at the Quad District Parking Structure level 2, Pavilion District Parking Structure level 2, Lot 5A, Lot 14 and Lot 41.
