New Hire Parking on Campus

Building a better, more efficient system for parking

In 2021, Transportation Services implemented changes to our parking operations to not only modernize parking demand on campus but help us to get closer to our sustainability goals.

Aggies can park on campus for as little as $2 a day with AggiePark via the AMP Park app. When you drive to campus, AggiePark allows you to choose from daily rates priced incrementally based on their distance from the campus core (within a Daily A, Daily C, or Daily L zone).

If you use AMP Park, please set up your account using your UCD email address to gain access to (lower) affiliate rates. If you are not seeing the affiliate rates please reach out to our office at 530-752-8277 as there tends to be a delay between onboarding and account set up.
