DAVIS, CA, September 8, 2025 – The University of California, Davis (UC Davis) is working with HONK, North America’s leading provider of contactless payments for parking and mobility, to expand payment options for daily campus parking. Effective immediately, students, faculty, staff, and visitors can pay for daily parking through the HONK app using Apple Pay, Google Pay, or any major credit card.
“UC Davis is leading the way in modern campus mobility,” said Michael Back, HONK Founder and CEO. “We’re proud to introduce new conveniences that make daily parking easier and more flexible, while supporting the university’s vision for a seamless campus experience.”
Digital wallets have become the go-to way for many people to pay, and HONK makes it easy for UC Davis parkers to use the same methods they rely on every day. Whether tapping Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal, transactions are quick, secure, and familiar — fitting seamlessly into routines while removing the hassle of cash, cards, or pay stations.
With the HONK app, UC Davis parkers can personalize their parking experience. Favorite locations can be saved for quick one-tap payments, receipts are automatically emailed for easy recordkeeping, and users can opt in to receive text reminders when time is running out with the flexibility to top up sessions remotely without having to return to their vehicle.
UC Davis joins a growing roster of higher education institutions adopting HONK’s hardware-light solutions to improve the campus parking experience. By expanding payment options and introducing app-based conveniences, the university continues its commitment to delivering a modern, tech-forward mobility experience for its community.
