Student Affairs

How to get around.

UC Davis is the largest campus in the UC system with 5,300 acres, so it pays to spend a little time figuring out how to get around this beautiful and expansive campus.

One of the primary ways that most UC Davis students, faculty and staff navigate campus is on bicycle. As one of the most bike-friendly campuses in the U.S., UC Davis has tons of bike paths , bike service stations and bike racks and lockers throughout campus, plus a map of bike commuter showers and lockers .

To buy a bike or any biking accessories, or to get your bike serviced, most students visit the ASUCD Bike Barn , which is located in the heart of campus. There also are a slew of bike shops in downtown Davis where you can buy a bike. When buying a bike, consider purchasing a bike that is durable enough to last four years, but isn't so expensive that it is tempting for thieves.

JUMP Bikes are now available at UC Davis. "Bikeshare" is a business model that works like an automated bicycle rental service. Download the app, make an account, associate a credit card with your account, and you're ready to rent a bike.

Bike Registration

Since there are so many bikes at UC Davis, all bikes on campus must have a current California Bicycle License. You can get a bicycle license at UC Davis Transportation Services (TAPS ), the Bike Barn or other locations in downtown Davis. Bicycle licenses are valid for approximately two years and for a nominal fee you can purchase a new license or renew an old one. If you lost your bike lock  key  or maybe it just stopped working, TAPS will cut your lock if your bike is registered.

Tip: Rules of the Road

Be sure to brush up on rules of the road for bikes, especially if you are riding through town, because you can get a ticket from Davis traffic police. Also, you'll want to learn how to navigate a bike circle, which are prevalent in the main parts of campus, and read the Bike Barn's Biking 101 article.

Tip: Avoid the "Freshman Stripe"

During the rainy season, invest in a mud guard for your bike to prevent water from flying off your back tire and leaving a wet, grey streak up your back — also known around campus as "the Freshman Stripe."

UC Davis has a great, student-run campus bus system, called Unitrans, that students can use for free (with Student ID card) to travel around campus and also places such as downtown Davis, West Village, the hospital, neighborhood shopping centers, medical offices, theaters and the Davis Farmers Market.

Unitrans has a great website that not only provides information about routes, but also gives predicted arrival times along each route.

The Unitrans bus system, which includes some London-style double-decker buses as part of its fleet, also serves the city of Davis and members of the public can purchase tickets for a minimal fare .

The red Unitrans bus isn't the only bus you'll see around town; the Yolobus can take you around Yolo County and neighboring areas. If you need a ride to Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, Woodland, downtown Sacramento, Sacramento International Airport, Cache Creek Casino Resort, Esparto, Madison, Dunnigan and Knights Landing then hop on a Yolobus.

UC Davis Medical Center Shuttle

The UC Davis/UC Davis Medical Center shuttle will take you from UC Davis' main campus in Davis over to the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. UC Davis students, faculty, staff, interns, volunteers, patients and visitors can take the bus for a small fare. Drivers can't take cash so you must buy tickets. ( See where to buy passes.)

They offer transportation Monday through Friday, excluding university holidays, and all shuttles are ADA accessible and can accommodate bikes. Pick up locations are at the Silo Terminal, Health Sciences Lot 56 and the Mondavi Center. View a schedule of exact departure and arrival times.

UC Davis-UC Berkeley Intercampus Shuttle

There also is an intercampus bus service that provides transportation between the Davis and Berkeley campuses for UC Davis and UC Berkeley faculty, staff and registered students. The intercampus bus service runs year-round, seven days a week, with the exception of some  holidays . 

Being located in Northern California, UC Davis has wonderful weather most of the year for walking around campus. Much of the campus is closed off to through traffic, so walking to and from class can be a breeze, as long as you watch for bike traffic.

And if you are looking to take a stroll through campus, then you should visit the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden, which is a 100-acre public garden that has a beautiful two-mile paved walking trail running through it.

Another way to navigate campus is using a car, although most students don't choose this mode of transportation since no cars are allowed in the heart of campus. If you do decide to drive, you will need a parking permit, which you can purchase at Transportation Services (TAPS) . They sell parking permits in person or online for daily, quarterly or yearly parking.

Roadside Assistance and Carpool

TAPS doesn't just sell permits and hand out parking tickets, they also offer  lockout service, tire inflation, jumpstart  and will even take you to the gas station. It is also the place to go if you want to register to become part of a carpool or vanpool.

Where to Park

There are a number of parking lots located around campus, but accessibility depends on the type of permit or parking pass that you have. Be sure to view the UC Davis parking lot map to see the best place for you to park when you are on campus. You can get daily permits at kiosks located in many of the parking lots or short-term and long-term permits at TAPS.

Go Green With Your Car

If you have an electric car, you are in luck. As one of the "greenest" campuses in the U.S., UC Davis has a number of electric car charging stations located around campus. The campus also has Zipcars available to rent if you are 18 years or older.

Other Services

Aggie hosts security service.

Aggie Hosts are non-sworn student security officers that will provide rides or walking escorts to students, staff and faculty. Don't hesitate to call if you don't feel safe walking alone on campus, especially since the service is free.

Mobility Assistance Shuttle

If you need help getting around on campus, the Mobility Assistance Shuttle (MAS) gives UC Davis students, faculty and staff with documented disabilities (temporary or permanent) a ride. They only provide on-campus rides to specified locations for academic or work-related purposes year-round.

Tipsy Taxi provides undergraduates with a safe ride home within the Davis area for a nominal fee. Just give Tipsy Taxi a call or request a ride  online  and wait for the taxi to arrive. You can even save yourself a dollar by buying a Tipsy Taxi  ticket  in advance from the Unitrans Business Office.

Leaving Davis

Take a mini-vacation to the Bay Area or maybe visit Sacramento for the day; either way, Amtrak can get you there.

Davis Airporter

If you're heading to the airport, consider using the Davis Airporter. You will need to make your reservation ahead of time, but they'll pick you up at your door and drop you off at either the Sacramento or San Francisco airport.

UC Davis and the city of Davis have many different art installations on campus and are home to multiple museums. The Manetti Shrem Museum, the Gorman Museum of Native American Art, and the Museum of Wildlife and Fish Biology to name a few, are all great museums for enjoyment. 

Specifically looking at the Manetti Shrem Museum, it hosts various events which students and the public can enjoy. The Davis community was able to check out a few Manetti Shrem Museum programs and events throughout this Winter Quarter and throughout the month of February 2024. 

The Manetti Shrem Museum is a co-sponsor to the The California Art Studio in the Department of Art and Art History and will be displaying an event by Josiah McElheny on February 1st, showcasing the artist’s lecture at 4:30 p.m. 

In addition to the lecture, the Manetti Shrem Museum is hosting the 2024 Templeton Colloquium in Art History exploring Chinese art and its influential effects across the globe. The UC Davis Art History department is known for its classes and breadth of valuable information, and the Colloquium was put together by UC Davis’ Professor Michael Yonan. This event will be held on February 23, 2024 in the Community Room in the Shrem Museum at 4 p.m. 

A third event to check out was the Manetti Shrem’s Open Mic session on February 22 from 7 to 9 p.m. either sign up early to perform, or enjoy the tunes by people in the community. 

The Wildlife and Fish Biology Museum, located on the UC Davis campus, is a museum specializing in wildlife and fish biology research and education. This year the museum is participating in the annual UC Davis Biodiversity Museum Day which is held on February 10, 2024. This isn’t the only time the museum can be visited. In order to visit, a tour can be scheduled a month in advance by emailing [email protected]. Tours are free for UC Davis students and faculty. For the public, it costs four dollars per person, with a minimum of eight people. 

While these programs and events are rotating at the Manetti Shrem Museum and the other museums around town, there are art pieces you can check out all year round on the UC Davis campus. The UC Davis campus is home to many different pieces of art and sculptures. Some pieces blend into the campus and others standout. 

To start, one art piece is Bum, Bum, You’ve Been Here Before , by artist Tio Giambruni. This piece is located between the Art Building and Everson hall, where it gives an urban and contemporary edge to this part of campus. This art piece resembles a construction piece of a large metal tube that can go unnoticed if you do not know it is a piece of art. 

Moving to a nearby location of Shield Library is Suspension, by artist Cedric Wentworth. This piece is of a head suspended from the ground mirroring itself at the top and is the same head upside down. It is viewable in the library in the center courtyard. Following the contemporary design pattern, this piece is timeless in its construction and is an icon to the campus library. 

Another art piece that is on display is Stone Poem, by Steve Gillman. This piece is located near the Silo on campus and currently lives in the grassy part in the center of the bike path. This piece highlights eight vertical granite structures that can be seen behind the Silo and the bike barn towards the Chemistry building. 

Moving to the UC Davis Veterinary Medicine area, Animal Anarchy by Nina Kaiser, is a grouping of bronze animals, and one bronze creature in particular is a pig leaning on top of a bench, making it a great photo spot. 

Art can be seen all across Davis’ campus, whether it is a Manetti Shrem program or your own self guided tour of the campus art, art is readily available in different mediums and expressions.

Walking Tour of Historic Benicia

Just northeast of San Francisco lies the scenic hamlet of Benicia, nestled along the Carquinez Strait. Benicia is a treasure-trove of California lore with four museums featuring its colorful past. John Vanland will be our guide as we visit the Benicia Capitol State Historic Park, home of California’s oldest remaining state house, and the Benicia Historical Museum to learn more about the town’s military arsenal and the role it played in both World Wars. After a no-host lunch at nearby restaurants, we’ll take a brief walking tour of a portion of historic First Street.  NOTE: Due to circumstances beyond our control, date has been changed to September 29.

Note: Bus trip to Benicia, Calif. Meet at UC Davis Extension, 1333 Research Park Dr., Parking Lot 81, at 9 a.m. to board the bus. This tour will include a significant amount of walking on uneven ground and uphill. Due to the historic nature of some buildings, it may be necessary to climb stairs when no elevator is available. Participants must be able to get on the bus on their own and walk through the venue and streets unassisted.

This Campus Was Made for Walking ...

  • by Dateline Staff
  • May 29, 2018

Two women glue botton down, look at camera.

This campus was made for walking, and that’s just what we’ll do — on four 1-mile loops newly marked with colorful buttons on pavement and concrete, one loop in each campus district: Quad, Pavilion, Health Sciences and Gateway.

Three of the Davis campus’s new walking loops will be featured during UC Walks during the noon hour this Thursday (May 31). See details below.

The loops are courtesy of Healthy UC Davis , which coordinates efforts among units that promote health and well-being on the Davis and Sacramento campuses. The Healthy UC Davis steering committee comprises staff, faculty and student representatives.

Healthy UC Davis also has projects of its own, like the walking loops: two on the Sacramento campus, four in Davis — with the Stride for Aggie Pride 5K route thrown in for good measure (3.1 miles, to be exact).

Learn more about Healthy UC Davis and its subcommittees: Food and Nutrition, Mental and Emotional Well-Being, Physical Activity, and Smoke and Tobacco-Free.

Walking loop promotional sign

The walking loops emerged from the Physical Activity subcommittee, which aims to foster a campus environment and culture that promote physical activity and decrease sedentary behavior. “We can see this as a way to increase energy levels, improve cognitive abilities and help promote better sleep,” the subcommittee declares on its webpage.

Promotional cards tout the Davis campus loops as a way to “get free exercise,” “connect with campus,” “plug into nature” and “take a mental break.”

You call see all the loops (Davis and Sacramento) and the Stride for Aggie Pride route on this map.

The Sacramento campus has the ACC Loop, 1 mile, between the medical center and the Ambulatory Care Center; and the Moore Path, ½ mile, between the medical center and Betty Irene Moore Hall.

UC Walks logo

This annual event, now in its ninth year, takes place at all UC campuses and the Office of the President, too. This year’s “official” UC Walks date was May 16 — but some locations moved the event to avoid conflicts with other events, such as UC Davis’ Thank Goodness for Staff.

The Sacramento campus held its UC Walks event May 17 and the Davis campus will hold its event this Thursday (May 31).

Here’s where to meet up for walks at noon:

  • Gateway Loop — Shields Library , main entrance
  • Health Sciences Loop — Valley Hall Courtyard
  • Quad Loop — South end of Centennial Walkway on the Quad
  • Cousteau Place — Back of the cul-de-sac
  • Drew Circle — Front desk in 1460 Drew Ave.
  • Research Park — Between UC Davis Continuing and Professional Education (UC Davis Extension) and Accounting and Financial Services

Be sure to sign in for prize drawings and pick up UC Walks T-shirts (while supplies last). Walks will last for 30 minutes.
