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 or HONK 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 LRPPA, LRPPC or LRPPL permit for events
- Retirees with a valid Retiree (RT) permit and affiliates with a DMV-issued disabled placard/license plate and a valid DSA permit may park at no charge. See Disabled Parking | Transportation Services for more information.
Non-Affiliated Visitors
Campus visitors with a DMV-issued disabled placard/license plate may register park at no charge, as outlined in the disabled parking policy.
Prepurchase through the Online Portal
Unaffiliated visitors can purchase discounted permits for eligible events through Transportation Services' online portal according to the instructions below. Permits are also available for purchase through the Honk or AMP mobile apps at the standard visitor rate for events that aren't set up for discounted passes, or for those who prefer to pay through one of the apps. Unless specified otherwise, event permits are valid for the full date purchased as follows:
- Monday - Friday in all C, L and F zone spaces all day, and also in C+ and A zone spaces after 5pm
- Weekends in all A, C+, C, L and F zone spaces all day
