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, 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.
