Disabled Parking Access for Campus Affiliates
UC Davis affiliates with a DMV-issued disabled person’s parking placard or license plate may park on campus in disabled spaces, unrestricted A, C+, C, L, and F zone spaces, and for extended periods in green zones at no cost with a monthly Disabled Access (DSA) permit. Those with a DSA permit must display their DMV-issued placard or license plate for their permit to be considered valid.
