This service, introduced to the campus last summer, was recently re-vamped and is easier to use than ever. Check our Southern California Rideshare's TranStar system.

Some people wonder why the campus offers rideshare programs.
If you are reading this newsletter, you are probably not one of these people, but believe me, they are out there, and they DO ask. The goal of the program was to reduce vehicle emissions by reducing vehicle trips. Even though alternative compliance options could be utilized to meet the campus' emission reduction requirements, the campus continues to offer rideshare incentive programs because it makes good sense for the campus on so many levels. It is also a great way to tangibly reward those who make the effort to be part of the solution - to congestion, air pollution. I thought so.
