SUBJECT:

Expanded Free Bus Zone

UCSD is committed to reducing traffic and parking congestion, and helping commuters cope with rising fuel costs. In support of this commitment, Transportation & Parking Services subsidizes free, unlimited bus rides on all Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) routes serving campus and the La Jolla Medical Center. We are excited to announce that the Free Bus Zone for all routes has been extended and now includes service to the Hillcrest Medical Center.

Join the hundreds of students, faculty, and staff who take advantage of free public transportation instead of parking at UCSD. With a Free Bus Zone sticker on your valid UCSD ID, you can now ride the entire length of these routes:

3 Between UCSD Medical Center and Euclid Ave. Trolley Station

30 Between UTC and downtown

41 Between Via Alicante (at Gilman Drive) and Fashion Valley Mall

150 Between UTC and Downtown (early a.m./ late p.m. only)

Transportation & Parking Services will continue to work closely with local providers to explore alternative transportation options and develop new Rideshare programs.
