The USC’s employee commute reduction program is more than a simple rideshare program. The program includes a fully integrated marketing and outreach component, and greatly exceeds the trip reduction targets of AQMD’s Rule 2202.
The program has taken great strides to improve air quality in Southern California through a variety of alternative commute options. Carpools and vanpools with preferred parking, rideshare matching services, and subsidies for public transit are just some of the options available to USC employees. The success of the USC Transportation Office in communicating these options to employees is evident all around campus – on a peak commute day, more than 900 employees car/vanpool to work, 1,100 arrive by bus or rail and almost 1,200 walk or bike.
