Transportation Alternatives

According to the SD Chamber of Commerce, by the year 2015 San
Diego's population will grow by one million, an increase of 49%.
Vehicle emissions account for 64% of all air pollution, despite
improvements in vehicle technology.

UCSD's Transportation Alternatives offers commuters, money saving
programs and incentives, in an effort to reduce the number of
SOV's (single occupant vehicles). California's Rideshare Week is
