UC Berkeley offers a comprehensive package of alternative programs to encourage the use of alternative transportation to reduce traffic and parking demand and contribute to the protection of the environment.

53% of campus faculty/staff and 92% of students commute by transportation other than a single occupant personal vehicle

All Cal staff and faculty with a campus email address are eligible to sign-up for our private Zimride Rideshare Community.  Visit our Zimride page for more information.

The transportation alternative program at UC Berkeley is called New Directions and options include:

• Unlimited Ride Passes on AC Transit for Students  and for Faculty and Staff
• Pre-Tax Transit Ticket Program for Faculty and Staff and a select group of students
