Dump the Pump and be a Passenger Princess! If you don’t like the stress of driving, the high cost of gas, or wasting time sitting in your car alone in traffic, then it’s time for you to rule the road! Be pampered in the passenger seat and try carpooling or taking transit.
UCR has partnered with IE Commuter to provide carpool matching and personalized bus/train routing assistance to UCR undergrads, helping you find a better way to commute to campus. While the IE Commuter dashboard was created to help employees find commute options to work, they have tailored their system to include undergrads commuting to UCR. You will only be matched for carpooling with other UCR undergrads.
To start:
- Login and create an account at IECommuter.org
- Enter your contact information. For employer name or work location, type in UCR and select UC Riverside (UCR) – Undergrads
- Enter the hours you normally start and end your day on campus.
For the system to find carpool matches, it will need students to register. The more that register, the better chance of finding matches. To incentivize more people to register, everyone that signs-up through the end of November will automatically be entered into a prize drawing for a chance to win a set of Apple AirPods 4 Wireless Earbuds. Later in the year, we will also hold more prize drawings for those that track their rideshare days on the IE Commuter Commute Calendar.
Revel in the glory of being a Passenger Princess. It’s not just a ride: it’s about saving time, money and helping the environment!
