Carpool Information
What is Carpool?
UCSB Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) defines a carpool as two
or more UCSB employees/students commuting together and sharing ONE Faculty/Staff/Student
Carpool campus permit. Carpools are an ideal cost saving arrangement, particularly
for those individuals who commute long distances to and from work each day, have
limited access to public transit or few transportation options available to them.
