From their public records requests (TAPS is now called DOTS):

• nearly $10M in citations across 2024 and 2025
• possibly $20M+ total revenue in those two years, about $15M of it from passes (their estimate)
• officers tracked in a "tickets-per-hour" database
• commuters ticketed 10-15 min after parking

TAPS gets no state money or tuition and pays for campus roads and paths too, so revenue isn't profit. But students and staff fund all of it, so they probably should publish where it goes.

The groups also asked in May for a nonprofit-funded monthly pass for 6-10 low-income commuters (DOTS already sells a monthly permit to employees). No answer in four months. Students have had no monthly or quarterly option since COVID, and C lots are $5.50/day.

I was driving on Russell last week and slowed down when I saw the red light. As the light turned green and I started accelerating again, these two girls (freshmen I'm assuming) decided to RUN ACROSS THE FUCKING STREET TO THE OLD RITE AID AREA AND IN FRONT OF MY CAR. Thank GOD I stopped just in time otherwise I would have hit them, and BADLY. The worst part is when I honked at them, they didn't turn, didn't look, didn't give any hand signals or anything. Just like not even there at all or conscious of what was going on.

My friend in the passenger and I had to literally calm down after because of how shit scared we were. I'm assuming it was some kind of dare or something based on how immature the whole thing was.

Stop doing this and please fucking don't jaywalk (OR FUCKING RUN) on busy streets.

I love exploring the back sides of buildings. The front sides always feel a little artificial to me: all fancied up to attract customers and changing to the latest fashion every few years. But the back alleys are where the behind-the-scenes work happens, and the back alleys are where you can see what the buildings really look like.

The last couple of times my kid has gone to the bike barn, with what I thought were minor repairs or adjustments, she ends up spending over $100 ! At this point could of just bought a brand new bike! She went in to replace a inner tube... which normally would cost maybe $20 and they told her she needs a whole new set up and needs to leave the bike and rent one from them....which came out to about $120 ish.....the last time she went, she just needed the front tire adjusted and it some how came out to another $100 and change out the window. Are they upselling to unsuspecting students?

Hello I’m a UC Davis student and I have an orange cat named Pippin he’s a 2 years old orange cat, super friendly, chill with strangers and never bite or get aggressive. I need someone to look after him in Davis while I’m gone for Halloween.
If you are available and will be in Davis for these 3 days and is willing to pet sit my cat please dm me!
I very much appreciate it and I’m willing to pay!
I can send him over for pet sitting or have you come over to my apartment to see him and feed him twice a day, whatever is easier!
Please hmu asap, I need help 🥲
Here’s a picture of my cat :)

UCD needs to added one way traffic spikes, it's getting exhausting having scooter users on the wrong side of the road.i know regular bike users can do it o but scooters are more dangerous

I recieved my MCS amount and it was significantly lower compared to the amount that csac was telling me prior to the term. I’m wondering if there’s a way I can reach out to the financial aid office for more help, or does anyone know where I can get more scholarships from. I tried looking at the Davis scholarship page but they were all closed.

Do any one of you guys know where I can get free face masks? I have a class that required attendance and I’m kind of sick but I don’t have any masks and wonder if anyplace at Davis provides them for free.

Does anybody know who to contact or how to proceed. I have taken bis2b and bis2c, but had to finish the series with bio2 last qurater. Myschedule is saying I don't have the pre req reqs filled to register for classes like bis101 and EXB106. Is it because I need the lab of bio2 as well? Unfortunately I a currently enrolled in the Bio2ab because I didn't think I would need it, but turns out I did need it.

you guys know how on wednesdays they have that little farmers market by the library and silo? so last week I went there and there was this dude who had like a bake stand set up with cookies and brownies and stuff. I just had a midterm so I thought id get a cookie and whatever

so I go to pay with my card and he says he only does cash and cash apps. I dont carry cash or do apps so I was like oh sorry nvm I'll come back next week ans pay. he was so nice and was like dont worry about it, just pay me next week and gave me the cookie. super chill dude

and then I got the flu. im literally so sick rn its gross and im not going anywhere and getting anyone else sick unless I have to. I dont want the nice cookie man to think I skipped out on him but also I cant drag my ass over there rn.

can somebody do me a solid and if you see him, let him know that the dude he gave a cookie to last week will pay him back soon? thanks 🙏

Hey guys, my friends and I found a lost item on the second floor of the TLC this morning around 10 AM and have turned it in to the UC Davis Police Department at 625 Kleiber Hall for safekeeping.

If you think you might have lost something there, please contact the police department to claim it!

this account has only a handful of comments and their only post is this one, and seems to be a psyop to control protests against Flock cameras, either by Flock themselves or the police.

srsly a bag is going to do nothing

fuck flock

Parent of a junior here. I visit by train from the Bay Area a few times a year, and family weekend hotel questions come up a lot, so here are the notes I give friends. Mods, happy to adjust if this crosses any line.

• Badge pickup: Friday Nov 6, 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., ARC Ballrooms.
• In-town order of booking, from experience: Hyatt Place UC Davis (on campus, books first), Best Western Plus Palm Court and Aggie Inn (downtown, walkable), Best Western University Lodge. La Quinta by Research Park works as a last resort.
• When Davis sells out: Dixon (~8 miles) and Woodland (~12 miles) first, then West Sacramento (~13 miles, across the causeway). All fine drives on a normal morning; leave a cushion on event days.
• The Capitol Corridor train is genuinely the easiest way in from the Bay Area. Davis station is downtown, about a 10 minute walk to campus.
• Saturday: farmers market 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. downtown, football vs Utah Tech.

Full disclosure: I collected these notes into a small site I run for visiting parents (it links to Booking.com through an affiliate program, same prices either way). Full weekend guide is here: https://visitingdavis.com/parent-and-family-weekend/

Happy to answer questions in the thread.

Can any kind soul help me find the recent syllabus of EEC 270? Maybe from someone who has taken the course before. The prof hasn't replied to my email and the only expanded course description I could find was from Winter 2005.

This dude lowkey takes out cash like 1$ bills and starts SNIFFING them one by one! DUDE COME ON WERE IN DISCUSSION AT 8AM RELAX!🤣🤣

Okay I know this is like dumb but I lowkey need the reassurance so like I have an accounting mid term and one of the listed required materials is a calculator, I thought I had one but I guess I left it back at my hometown. Even though I don’t have one I’ll still be able to take it right?

What an ass move... I'm one of the only people here using a tricycle because I'm too unbalanced and impatient to learn how to ride a bike. my amazing glorious seat is gone. It was so big, so comfortable, like I was sitting on an actual chair. I hope the $20 you got from it was worth me being late to my classes for the forseeable future. Worth my misery and sobbing at 7 am. Can't afford a new one. I hope stealing from poor first generation students makes you happy 😞

Anyways is my bike more likely to get stolen if it's missing a seat? asking for a friend (me)

hi! ive been wondering if anyone is into journaling? ive been trying to find people that would like to meet up and journal/stationary swap with each other :)) not sure if many will be interested but I hope some will

in sf they call their fog karl, but karl is around a LOT more than our fog here obviously. i was just wondering if there’s a generally established name for it when it comes around :)
