Getting around Davis

  • Bicycling
  • Walking
  • Campus-run bus system (Unitrans)

Davis is a small college community known as the "bicycling capital" of the United States, boasting more bicycles than residents. Everyone from small children to professors and business people ride bicycles. Participants are encouraged to rent bicycles. Time is set aside during registration day for bicycle rental at the university Bike Barn. Due to heavy demand, friends and family members can rent or purchase a bike from vendors in the downtown Davis area. Note: The bicycle rental industry in Davis is very competitive; therefore, it is not possible to specify size or type of bicycle until the actual rental transaction. If you do not reserve a bicycle in advance, we cannot guarantee that one will be available during your stay.

Unitrans, the university operated bus system, runs regularly throughout the entire Davis area. Walking is an alternate way to access the campus, classes, most sports facilities and the downtown business area while in Davis.

Car rental

We recommend that participants wishing to have the use of a private car make car rental reservations in advance from their home country prior to arrival in the United States for the best rates.

As pricing and restrictions vary widely, it is usually advantageous to contact a local travel agent or international car rental agency in order to make arrangements to have a car available at either the Sacramento International Airport or the San Francisco International Airport. Participants may also make car rental arrangements while in Davis at local car rental agencies.
