Beep, beep, there goes the bus! Did you know that transportation accounts for 26% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions? Cut down on these emissions by utilizing sustainable modes of transportation. Thankfully, being a USC student makes this easy.
Tips & Actions
Walk or bike
Best way to reduce your transportation emissions? Walk or bike to your destination. Help the environment and burn some calories at the same time.
Use public transit
Explore L.A. with free USC Buses, and a free U-Pass for unlimited bus and train rides on LA Metro and partner agencies. Go from University Park Campus to the beach in 30 minutes on the E Line, with service to LAX coming soon.
Use Lyft
The USC Lyft shared-rides program is available to only USC constituents, and provides free rides within geofences and service hours at both campuses.
Carpool
USC encourages carpooling with our online platform Traveler. Carpool permits are also available when you apply with a partner and help keep a single-use vehicle off the campus. Get Traveling!
Travel lightly
While it might be tempting to take 5 game day outfit options for the Weekender in San Francisco, choose only 1 instead. The lighter you pack, the less fuel you use while traveling.
Leave your car at home, USC Transportation has you covered. Partnerships with ZipCar, Enterprise, and Lyft make it easy to get access to a vehicle.
