🕓 What time should I leave home to get to class on time?

Give yourself at least 1.5–2 hours before your class starts, or at least twice your usual commute, especially between 7–9 AM when traffic peaks.

• For example, if your class starts at 9 am and your estimated commute is 30 minutes, it’s best to leave home around 8 am (to give yourself an hour).

Even a short drive can be delayed by parking and walking. Always check Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze the morning of.

🚙 Where do most commuters park?

Popular parking spots:

• Pavilion Parking Structure
• Quad/MU Parking Garage

💡 Tip: Check UC Davis’ live parking availability tool for real-time updates.

📲 Do I need a parking permit?

Yes, unless you’re biking or using transit.

Options:

• Daily/hourly via AMP Park
• Off-peak daily C-permit from COSMO machines (cheaper, but limited to early mornings or evenings).
• If you're also employed by UC Davis, then you may qualify for monthly LRPP permits (C, L, A zones).
