Disabled Parking
DMV ISSUED PLACARDS/PLATES:
UC Davis disabled students, staff and faculty are required to display a valid campus permit along with their California DMV issued Disabled Person's placard/plate. A campus disabled permit (DSA) may be purchased from the TAPS office, and will provide access to Disabled spaces, "A" permit spaces, green time zones, and parking meters. "C" or remote lot permits will provide access only to the area specified by the permit. Campus visitors may park with their disabled placard/plate without displaying an additional permit, and may park in spaces where DSA permits are honored.
Disabled spaces are conveniently located throughout the campus in parking lots and adjacent to some buildings. Disabled placards/plates are not valid in restricted spaces (such as 1 hour A permit spaces), loading zones, red zones, center core and reserved areas. Disabled individuals should keep their disabled person’s identification with them at all times. Individuals are required to present their DMV issued Disabled Person's Identification along with a photo ID to TAPS office personnel at the time of purchase.
If you are a Staff or Faculty member whose disability is severe in nature and requires additional parking accommodations within the restricted center core, please contact the campus Disability Management Services Office at (530) 752-6008 for instructions on submitting a request for accommodation. Please allow 3-4 business days for processing.
Students requiring additional assistance should contact the Student Disability Center for further information.
For additional information please read our FAQ.
If you have any questions or comments please contact TAPS
TEMPORARY MEDICAL PERMITS:
A temporary medical parking permit is available to individuals with temporary disabilities and will provide parking where "A" permits are honored and at parking meters. The medical permit does not allow parking in disabled spaces or other restricted areas.
A temporary medical parking permit provides accommodation up to six (6) weeks only per injury. If you require parking accommodations for longer than six weeks you may wish to apply for a disabled placard through the California State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). After obtaining a DMV issued placard, you may purchase a campus DSA (disabled) permit from the TAPS office (please see information above).
If you wish to purchase a temporary medical permit you will need to obtain a statement of health from your physician, on letter head, noting the nature of the disability and the duration that accommodation is required (beginning and ending dates). Otherwise, accommodations will be made effective from the date of the physician's statement of health.
If you do not already hold a valid UCD parking permit, the cost is $6/day or the monthly C (DSA) permit rate, whichever is less. If you already have a valid UCD Permit, there is a $2 charge for an identifier that will be issued to display with the UCD parking permit.
The campus Student Disability Center (SDC) operates a shuttle service that travels within the campus core to assist students with mobility impairments. They also offer other mobility assistance services, including referral for equipment repair and accessibility consultation.
