Share a Ride, Make a Friend


Parking and Transportation Services encourages CSULBers to participate in the ride share program. They even help commuters find people to carpool with to school. On the Parking and Transportation CSULB website, those interested will find the "matchlist". Once clicked on, a candidate chooses the city he or she commutes from. Then, they are given a list which includes the names, locations (cross streets), contact info, class schedules and any notes of possible matches.

In addition to freeing up more parking spaces, the ride share program presents economic and other benefits as well. Students, faculty, and staff who carpool can look forward to saving money on gas, car repairs and maintenance, and insurance. Not to mention that it will save students time. It also helps the environment. The ride share program can also be used as an opportunity to make friends on campus.
