Alternative Transportation programs designed to help our planet!
Tired of rising gas prices? Would you like to save money on your commute? Parking & Transportation has three great programs that will help you save money, gasoline and help the environment.
Carpool: Open to employees and students who drive with two or more people per vehicle. You share the cost of the parking permit at existing premier locations. A three person carpool parked in a surface lot is only $139 per person per year. For more information go to: http://parking.arizona.edu/alternative/carpool.php.
Vanpool: This service is open to UA employees and students. PTS provides a Free parking permit.The cost of gas and the van averages $60 - $100 per month. Each van holds 5 to 15 riders and provides the perfect option for making your commute time more relaxing. For information go to: http://parking.arizona.edu/alternative/vanpoolintro.php.
RideShare: RideShare is a free carpool matching service for commuters and employers in Pima County. Participation is voluntary. The program provides interested applicants with a "matchlist" of other commuters who live and work near them and also want to carpool. Commuters set up their own carpools to fit their particular commuting needs. For information go to: http://parking.arizona.edu/alternative/rideshare.php.
Information on all three transportation programs may be found on the PTS web site at http://parking.arizona.edu/transportation.
