Telework / Telecommuting
Teleworking / Telecommuting is a Commute Mode
You might be asking yourself, Why is teleworking grouped in with the goClub? We consider working from home a type of commute and one in step with the goals of the goClub--to connect the Aggie Community with lower-cost and lower-stress commute options. As well, teleworking is a favorite goClub commute mode among many Aggies because it allows for more work-life balance while maintaining productivity.
The Intercampus Shuttle trips will continue to stop at the existing bus stops at the intersection of Hutchison Drive and Health Science Drive through February 14, 2020.
For many, the thought of commuting daily to UC Davis from the Bay Area may seem, well, crazy. Meet the Poolbusters, an El Cerrito-based vanpool that was established in 1985, where for passengers getting to and from UC Davis is a community effort, and just part of their workday.
Within the Sacramento Metro area, ride-hailing is on the rise for people who want to save time and money. Zimride, the carpool-matching platform is gaining in popularity and allows for scheduling your ride ahead of time.
Vanpools are a group of 5-10 people who commute together to campus in a leased passenger van. Vanpools are becoming more popular for students, staff, and faculty that live further from campus and are looking for low-cost rideshare.
If you are willing to try vanpooling as your primary commute, we encourage you to connect with a coordinator in your area.
Driving to campus? Grab a friend or someone on your same route (and schedule). Or, if you are able carpool and share the ride as your primary commute, we encourage you to give it a try. Commuting to campus by carpool is an excellent way to hang out with friends, make new friends, and reduce traffic congestion.
Have you heard? Davis is an oasis for cyclists and if you live near Davis you're fortunate to be able to commute to campus by bicycle. Once on campus, there are over 22 miles of pathways for you to explore and ride (and park) right where you need to be!
If you are able to ride your bicycle as your primary commute, we encourage you to put on that helmet, learn your hand signals, and give commuting with the wind in your face a shot.
Commuting to campus from home on foot is something few in the Aggie Community are able to do. Much of our campus community lives within a 20-minute walk of the campus and yet, despite the relaxing walk, many choose to drive regularly thereby impacting parking availability and worsening local road congestion.
If are able to walk to and from campus as your primary commute, we strongly encourage you to get those steps in, breathe that fresh air, and leave your car at home.
