Rideshare

The Rideshare program is designed to promote alternative modes of transportation for faculty and staff at Stanislaus State. The focus of the Rideshare program is to encourage faculty and staff to:

  1. Find alternative modes of transportation such as carpooling, public transportation, walking, or riding a bike.
  2. Take a step towards a healthier life by walking or riding a bike.
  3. Learn about the financial benefits of carpooling, public transportation, walking, or riding a bike to work.

Carpooling or taking public transportation is a good way to go when you are trying to cut down on expenses. If you live in the surrounding cities of Turlock then you can easily find a public transportation route. Or if you and some co-workers find that carpooling is a good option then be sure to look at the Guaranteed Ride Home Program to help ease your doubts leaving your vehicle at home in case an emergency should occur.

  2. Lowers risk of diabetes.
  3. Reduces stress
  4. Increases energy
  5. Weight loss

Biking
