Event Services

Transportation Services offers a comprehensive event parking program that manages vehicular, bike, and pedestrian access, provides parking convenience, and supports a positive experience at events on the Davis campus. Groups hosting events with over 50 people should reach out to our team for guidance on permit options, potential conflicts with other campus events, and other important considerations to help ensure a smooth experience.
 

Getting Started

To get started, a department contact should request an AggiePark Departmental Events Account. As part of that request, you'll need to provide a primary events contact, a list of additional authorized department requestors, and billing information. Please allow up to 7 business days to process your request. After it's approved, you can place an online order through our events system.

For questions or to add/remove authorized requestors after your account is set up, please email our team at parking@ucdavis.edu.
