## Getting to main campus or the health center

### From the airport

The nearest airport to the main campus and the health center is the [Sacramento International Airport](http://www.sacramento.aero/smf/), about a 20-minute trip for each. You can use public transportation to get to and from both places.

Once on campus, buses and shuttles can get you to where you want to go. The health system operates the on-site [Med-Transit Shuttle Services](http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/parking/transportation/medtrans/) and the Davis campus is served by [the local public bus system Unitrans](https://unitrans.ucdavis.edu/), with terminals near [the Memorial Union](http://campusmap.ucdavis.edu/) and [the Silo](http://campusmap.ucdavis.edu/).

### Parking at UC Davis

A valid UC Davis permit is required to park on campus. UC Davis uses [AggiePark](https://taps.ucdavis.edu/aggiepark), an app that allows drivers to conduct parking permit transactions from their mobile devices. Visit [UC Davis Transportation Services](https://taps.ucdavis.edu/) for daily [visitor rates](https://taps.ucdavis.edu/visitor).

[Visitors with a disabled placard/plate](http://taps.ucdavis.edu/parking/information/disabled) may park without displaying an additional permit, and may park in spaces where UC Davis DSA permits are honored. 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.
