The Commuter Club is a
program designed to
reduce peak hour
commuter trips to the
campus. Reducing the
number of commuter trips
to campus is one piece
of the solution to the
parking problem on
campus. Additionally,
the Commuter Club
contributes to the green
initiatives on campus by
helping to reduce
emissions by reducing
the number of vehicles
traveling to and from
campus.

alternative
transportation option

needs:

altogether. You also
save on gas and wear and
tear on your car. In
addition, PTS will pay
25% of your fare, and
the remaining balance
can be deducted on a
pre-tax basis.
METRO RIDERS CAN SAVE
OVER $3,500 PER YEAR
VERSUS DRIVING THEIR OWN
CAR!
Carpool and vanpool

cost of a permit as well
as gasoline expenses.

portion of the cost of
operating a vanpool.
