Sustainable Transportation

We encourage those who live on and near campus to seriously consider the positive aspects of walking or cycling to jobs and classes. Walkers and cyclists enjoy:

minimal transportation cost
zero stress about where to park
zero parking fees
exercise in transit
dependable & predictable transportation

Incentives

UC Irvine offers incentives to employees who walk and ride their bicycles to campus. We are currently not offering incentives to undergraduate students.

Employees who walk or bike to campus and do not purchase long term parking permits may register at the Parking and Transportation Services Office to receive either a ST Permit (4 days of parking/month) OR Greenhouse Cash ($10.00/month).

The ST Permit is valid in general or reserved (except lot 80) parking when one box on the permit is dated.

Greenhouse Cash may be used to purchase food or merchandise from participating local businesses or to purchase one-day parking permits.

Employees must register at the Parking and Transportation Services Office to receive either incentive.

Graduate Students who are employed by the university are eligible for the Employee/Graduate Student Incentives. Graduate students who are not employed by the campus may register for Student ST Incentives.
