Commuting to UC Davis, Guide for New Hires
Welcome to UC Davis, and congratulations on your appointment! We are passionate about helping Aggies find their best and most sustainable commute option. What's the best commute? That depends on you. Do you want to save time? Money? Care about your carbon footprint? All of the above? We’ve got you covered.
When possible, be flexible!
If you have the option, plan your schedule and commute by working with your employer on setting up a flexible work arrangement (FWA). Being flexible means changing up your daily commute for work. That might look like taking the bus 2 days a week, driving 2 days a week, and telecommuting 1 day a week. Or, maybe you telecommute 4 days a week and drive 1 day a week. (That's some good work-life balance right there!) Find out what's possible and reasonable FWA with your supervisor.

Parking
Aggies can park on campus for as little as $2 a day with AMP Park, the pay-by-phone parking app. When you drive to campus, AMP Park allows you to choose from daily rates priced incrementally based on the distance from the campus core.

Telecommuting
We consider telecommuting (working from home) a type of commute and a favorite commute mode among many Aggies because it allows for more work-life balance while maintaining productivity...maybe even increasing it!
