Smart Commuting
There are many ways to get to and around campus.

A commuter’s top ten
Leslie McCarthy
“Riding the Metrolink is easy, convenient and actually pretty fun,” said McCarthy. “And it truly only adds about 10 minutes to my overall commute.”

Camaraderie on the West Campus Shuttle
Mary Clemens
“With the shade trees along the way, it is really quite an enjoyable walk.”

A motivating disruption
Professor Richard Axelbaum
“I enjoy the ride, it is good for me, good for the environment and, even better, it takes me about the same amount of time to get to work as it did when I used to drive my car.”
