UCSB Vanpool Program
General Information
Vanpools provide an inexpensive alternative transportation option for UCSB long-distance
employee and student commuters.
Eligibility
UCSB/UCOP employees and current students are eligible, subject to transportation
availability.
Routes
UCSB vanpools currently serve commuters from Santa Maria, Buellton, Santa Ynez,
Solvang, Lompoc, Carpinteria, Ventura, Camarillo and Thousand Oaks. Pick-up and
departure locations are determined by the participants of each individual van. Any
changes to the regular pick-up and departure locations are sent to the Vanpool Coordinator.
Schedule
Schedules are determined by the participants of each individual van. Any changes
to the regular schedule are sent to the Vanpool Coordinator. Departure/arrival times
are subject to traffic and roadway conditions and are not guaranteed.

Subscription Information
UCSB vanpool riders must subscribe to a scheduled seat. Riders may choose between
a full-time (M–F) schedule, or a part-time Tuesday/Thursday (TR) or Monday/Wednesday/Friday
(MWF) schedule. Part-time fares are pro-rated as shown below.
Waiting Lists
Waiting lists are compiled on a first-come, first-served basis. TAP will
let you know when a seat becomes available.
Standby Rider Vouchers
Vanpool standby rider vouchers provide transportation on a space-available
basis. Standby rider vouchers are sold individually at a cost of $5 for each one-way
trip. They may be purchased with cash or by check payable to "UC Regents". To make
your purchase, visit the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) office in Parking
Services Building 381. Our hours are Monday–Friday 8:00AM to 5:00PM, excluding
University holidays.
Cost
Discounted fares are available for active vanpool drivers. University employees
may elect to enroll for pre-tax payroll deduction.
Monthly fares are subject to change with 30-days notice and are reviewed periodically.
