FAQ: A+ Zone Reservation Parking 

  • What is the daily cost for an A+ parking reservation?
  • The cost to reserve an A+ parking stall is $12.00 per day.
  • Who is eligible to reserve an A+ parking stall?
  • Any UC Davis affiliate (students, employees) with a valid UC Davis email address may reserve an A+ parking stall. Campus housing residents are not eligible to purchase A+ spaces.
  • How do I pay and reserve an A+ parking stall?
  • > Open the ParkMobile app
    > Click on the Reserve icon
    > Search for UC Davis
    > Click on the A+ Reservations pin
    > Choose a date/location
  • Where are the A+ spaces located?
  • Spaces are identified by posted signs, within the parking facility of your choice (please note, the reservation is only valid within the lot you choose). You cannot park in other A+ spaces/locations until after 12pm, or you may be cited.
  • How long is the space reserved for?
  • The A+ parking stall is reserved until Noon on the day of the reservation. If you are not parked in the stall by Noon on the day of your reservation, the stall will become available.  
  • Why did you select a reservation time of  7 am to noon?
  • We looked at times where the highest number of people arrive on campus, (8-10) and to hold these spaces open allowing someone to arrive later. However, we did not want to hold these highly desired spaces all day and allow others to park after Noon.  
  • How many days in advance can I reserve parking?
  • You may reserve an A+ parking stall up to one day in advance or the morning (before Noon) of the same day.
  • Why is Transportation Services offering reserved spaces?
  • We often receive requests from Aggies who wish to have the ability to temporarily purchase an upfront, reserved parking space. Until we adopted ParkMobile, the parking-on-demand technology was not available for campus affiliates.  
  • How did Transportation Services determine where to place these spaces and the number of spots in each location.
  • We based the location on where there is the highest demand and lowest turnover. We initially estimated the number of spots based on the size of the parking facility these spaces are located. Over time, we will reassess the demand and potentially increase or decrease the number based on that demand.
  • Is my regular A permit valid in A+ spaces?
  • No, A permits are only valid in A, C, and L parking zones. If you purchase a daily pass to park in an A Zone, and choose to park in an A+ parking space prior to Noon, you may be cited. After 12p, if the A+ stall is empty (unreserved), those eligible to park in A Zones may use the A+ stall.
