How to Purchase Event Parking
UC Davis Affiliates (Employees, Students and Retirees)
- UC Davis students and employees should purchase event parking through AggiePark via the AMP Park app to access daily affiliate rates. Once you pay to park, those with a daily permit can move to any equivalent or lower-cost zone across campus (including event parking areas).
- Monthly permit holders can park with their LRPP in any equivalent or lower-cost zone across campus (including event parking areas).
- Retirees with a valid Retiree (RT) permit and those with a DMV-issued disabled placard or license plate (UC Davis affiliates and visitors) may park at no charge.
Non-Affiliated Visitors
Prepurchase through the Online Portal
For a discounted rate, non-affiliated visitors should prepurchase their parking through Transportation Services' online portal. When pre-purchasing event parking, your license plate becomes your permit for the duration of the event(s) you select and is eligible in any visitor space unless specified otherwise.
This option is available for many events. If you do not see the event you're looking for, please refer to the day of parking options below.
