GETTING AROUND DAVIS 

One of the best ways to get around is by bike. The city is relatively flat and has an exceptional network of bicycle paths and lanes. In fact, Davis was the first city in the US to create a bike lane.

Another easy option is the well connected Unitrans bus system, which serves the campus and the rest of Davis. We even have an original double-decker bus from London… and a couple of more modern double-decker buses, as well. Check out fare prices here.

 

 

Zipcars are available on campus for hourly or daily rental. Once you are a member, it’s fast and easy to rent a car for just $8.00 per hour, including fuel and insurance. You must pre-register with Zipcar to have access to the vehicles. You can sign up online at: https://www.zipcar.com/universities/university-of-california-davis.
