CSUSB Carpool Matching Program
The goal of Parking and Transportation Services' (PATS) carpool matching program is to assist students, faculty and staff members in the formation and continuation of self-managed carsharing partnerships. Carpooling is a great way for the CSUSB community to help reduce air pollution in the Inland Empire and Southern California; all while saving participants time and money.
It is important to note that CSUSB PATS is a partner in the matching process, providing resources, tools and expertise but cannot guarantee a match. It is up to individual participants to manage their own transportation arrangements. Beyond ridesharing options, PATS offers a number of excellent alternative transportation options, including free buss access on three different carriers; OmniTrans, Victor Valley Transit Authority and Sunline. Please select the Mass Transit options above for more information.
