Vanpooling at UCLA UCLA's Commuter Assistance-Ridesharing office currently operates over 130 vanpools from 80 communities. With this large number of routes, there is bound to be a vanpool that meets your commuting needs. By not driving alone to campus each day you can save money on gas, maintenance, insurance, and parking. Your car will also last longer with the reduced commute mileage.
Passengers also comment on the reduced stress and increased productivity that vanpooling allows.
Vanpool riders are able to sit back and catch up on work, studies, or sleep while commuting. In the bigger picture, the removal of your vehicle's emissions allows you to contribute to a better environment. Student Vanpooling Vanpooling is a great way to get to campus if you're a commuting student who is on campus for most of the day with any combination of classes, studying, or an on-campus job. Also, if you are living on or near campus, vanpools can be just the ticket to get you back home to family and friends on weekends. An Economical Option UCLA Vanpools are owned and operated by the University, which minimally subsidizes the overall expense of the service.
