Rideshare, what's a rideshare


With the hustle and bustle that goes on here at CSULB it's got to be hard to create alternate modes of transportation for the near 30,000 students.


One program that is quite useful is the Rideshare program. The rideshare program is a series of alternate modes of transportation systems students can use to get to school such as a student carpool match list. This matches students up with other students from their neighborhoods that would be compatible to carpool together. Students who carpool also get preferential parking in the parking lot located just in front of Brotman Hall. There is also the campus connection shuttle that offers students rides from various locations on campus. (See map for details)


The Long Beach Transit, Metropolitan Transit Authority and the Orange County Transit Authority also run in and out of Long Beach State.


Associate Director Ignacio Carrillo says that Director Thomas Kenna has been working to, "establish closer partnership with Long Beach Transit to benefit students and employees." In order to create a more comprehensive system for the campus at large.
