I’m an incoming freshman, and I’m going to the orientation in a few weeks. I was wondering if anyone knew how to get to the amtrack train station because I’m taking a train back home. I tried searching it up on google maps (from tercero housing to the station), but all it gives me is that the station is 1.4 miles away, so can anyone tell me the general whereabouts of the station? I have to walk to the station… is that common for most students?
From the Davis orientation website:
Orientation Shuttle
The Orientation Program provides a free shuttle from the Amtrak Station in the City of Davis and the Memorial Union on campus, to the Tercero Area where Orientation is located on campus. If you are interested in this service, please call 530-752-5190 upon arrival to the Amtrak Station in Davis. The Orientation staff will transport participants to the program in a university vehicle. Orientation staff can also transport participants back to the Amtrak Station or Memorial Union, upon close of the program. Visit the Orientation Desk during the program to sign-up for a return shuttle to either location
@Gumbymom thanks!
For later reference, or if for some reason you can’t use the shuttle at orientation, you can take the A line from the Silo to get to Amtrak. The driver should call out the stop.
Worst comes to worst, you can use either Uber or Lyft!
Uber has a $20 off promo code: u2gf5
Lyft also has a $20 off promo code: UCDAVISRIDE
The rides should only be like $4 (taken both multiple times because I’m lazy), so with the promo codes, they should be free
