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 affiliates with a DMV-issued disabled placard/license plate and a valid DSA permit 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 for eligible events. 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 (C or L zone) space. After 5pm, visitors with a valid permit may also park in A and C+ zones.
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.
