Welcome to TAP
The Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) serves those who primarily commute between their residence and UC Santa Barbara's main campus by foot, skateboard, bicycle, bus, carpool, vanpool or train. By reducing traffic congestion, traffic emissions and the demand for parking on campus, we conserve energy and contribute to a better UCSB. While motorcycle and remote work may reduce greenhouse gas emissions, traffic and parking demand, these modes are explicitly not included in the Transportation Alternatives Program's complimentary parking benefit.
