Parking and transportation
Our goal is to offer you excellent parking services and to ease any concerns you have while we undergo construction on our campus. While the project will not disrupt Cancer Center medical services, parking is being re-routed to accommodate construction traffic. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding as we work to improve our services. Please refer to the map below for drop-off and parking options and click here for up-to-date information on the current parking status.
Additional patient and visitor parking is available on the grounds of the UC Davis Medical Center.
Parking spaces for vehicles with disabled-person parking placards or plates are available on the north and east sides of the Cancer Center.
Wheelchairs are available in front of the patient drop-off area on 45th St. and on the north-east side of the Cancer Center. Patients who need help getting in or out of their car should bring a family member or caregiver for assistance.
The UC Davis Medical Center shuttle is a free service for patients, visitors, faculty, staff, students and other people affiliated with the University of California. This service runs Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 11:45 p.m. excluding university holidays. Routes and schedules can be found by visiting the Parking and Transportation Services shuttle service page. Ride requests can also be made by calling Transportation Services directly at 916-734-2687. Shuttles are equipped with bike racks, and all of the shuttles are wheelchair-accessible.
