Displaying Permits and Parking Tips
Unless marked otherwise, all parking areas at UC Davis Health System, including off-site and leased facilities, are reserved for permit-only parking for staff, government or vendor/service vehicles. To use these areas, vehicles must display a valid permit. All permits must be authorized and issued by Parking Services. In lots 14, 16, 18 and 25, one-day permits can be purchased from a dispensing machine.
- Permits must be displayed in the lower left corner (driver's side) of the windshield.
