The UC Davis Campus Travel Survey is an annual survey led by Transportation Services (TS)—formerly known as Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS)—and the UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS-Davis). It collects a rich set of data about travel to the UC Davis campus, demographics, and attitudes toward travel.

The 2024-25 survey collected data from 3,962 people affiliated with UC Davis about their travel to campus during October and November 2024. It used a stratified random sampling method with the intent to gather a representative sample of the campus population. About 11 percent of those invited responded to this year's survey. For the statistics presented throughout this report, the responses are weighted by campus role (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, Master’s student, PhD student, faculty, and staff) and gender, so that the proportion of respondents in each group reflects their proportion in the campus population.
