Student Parking and Permits
Unless marked otherwise, all parking areas at UC Davis Medical Center, 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 and/or license plate. 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.
The annual parking permit period extends from July 1 through June 30. All annual parking permits expire June 30, and new permits must be displayed by the second week of July on vehicles parked in permit parking areas. Renewal permits are available the third week in June at the Parking Services Office and will be honored from that date. Vehicles not displaying valid permits may be subject to a parking violation citation whether payroll deductions are still in effect or not.
Only a "D" permit allows the holder a reserved parking space. All other permits do not guarantee the holder a reserved parking space. It provides the opportunity to legally park where space is available.
Permits are not for resale and are not transferrable to other persons. Permits are for use by the purchaser only. Only one parking permit may be purchased per person.

Additional Information:
Temporary B Permits
UC Davis Health System temporary B permits may be purchased by limited appointment employees or 49% or less per diem employees or students on a cash basis (cash includes check and credit card recordings). Permit holders may park in designated unattended lots anytime. Employees with temporary B permits may park in attended lots only during the hours of 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m., Monday thru Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday. To ensure adequate patient/visitor parking, employees with temporary B permits may not park in attended or metered parking lots during the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and may be subject to parking violation citation. (UC Davis Health System temporary B permits are synonymous with UC Davis campus A permits.) Temporary B permits allow the purchaser to park in B permit designated areas when space is available.
Temporary D Permits
Temporary D permits may be purchased by career employees through payroll deduction or cash; casual employees are not eligible for Temporary D permits. The premium rate charged for a D permit ensures the employee a reserved space in a lot, not in a particular stall. The permits are issued according to the priority listing defined in UC Davis Health System Policies and Procedures Manual, Section 3378, Parking Facilities - General Information, and where availability exists. The same hourly considerations and restrictions for attended lot parking of B permit holders apply to D permit holders unless reserved parking has been assigned. D permit parking is assigned by sub-decal overlay. Reserved parking is valid only in the area assigned.
C Permits
Annual C permits may be purchased by limited appointment employees or 49% or less per diem employees or students on a cash basis (cash includes check and credit card recordings). Permit holders may park in all C designated unattended lots anytime. Employees with annual C permits may park in attended lots only after 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Monday thru Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday. To ensure adequate patient/visitor parking, parking beyond these hours may be subject to parking violation citation. (UC Davis Health System annual C permits are synonymous with UC Davis campus C permits.) Annual C permits allow the purchaser to park in C permit designated areas when space is available.
Temporary C permits may be purchased by limited appointment employees or 49% or less per diem employees or students on a cash basis (cash includes check and credit card recordings).

M Permits
Motorcycle permits may be purchased by career employees through payroll deduction or with cash. Students and limited appointment employees may purchase a Motorcycle permit on a cash basis. Permit holders may park their motorcycle in designated motorcycle parking spaces only. Motorcycle spaces are designated in the parking structures and some unattended lots. If all motorcycle spaces are taken, permit holders may park in any unreserved parking space.
Temporary Carpool Permits
Temporary Carpool permits may be purchased by career employees, limited appointment employees, 49% or less per diem employees, or students on a cash basis (cash includes check and credit card recordings). All parties involved with the carpool must be registered as a carpool with the commuter choice program coordinator in parking services.
CP 2 (two-person carpool) permitters have access to the same parking privileges as B permit holders. CP 3 (three-person carpool) Carpools get designated reserved parking. Carpool parking is synonymous to A parking on campus. Only one permit will be issued for each established carpool. Carpool members are expected to use their one day rideshare passes when they drive alone. Each carpool member is responsible for canceling his/her own payroll deductions when participation in a carpool is no longer desired. All unused one day rideshare passes must be returned to parking services upon cancellation as they are no longer valid.
