CAL POLY POMONA RIDESHARE
Rideshare Choices That Suit Your Lifestyle
VANPOOL
Let someone else do the driving.Cal Poly Pomona's vanpools hold eight to twelve people and are a great way to save wear and tear on your car. We have vanpools coming from as far away as Hesperia, Victorville, Rancho Cucamonga and Riverside or as close as Rialto. Here are the current vanpools [PDF] coming to the Cal Poly Pomona campus. Please review the Vanpool Driver Agreement and Vanpool Passenger Agreement. Contact the Rideshare Office if you are interested in joining a vanpool. You may also contact a Rideshare Coordinator to set up an orientation appointment.
Additional agency incentive: Inland Empire residences can also benefit from incentives for first time commuters. Contact the Rideshare Office for more details on this great incentive!
In addition, I encourage you to check http://commutesmart.info/ as it has over 180,000 participants in the area. Another great source is 1-800-COMMUTE.
