Commuter Alternative Program (CAP)

The Commuter Alternative Program rewards faculty, staff and students who choose to take the bus, join a rideshare, ride a bike or walk to campus. Sustainable transportation options improve air quality, build community and reduce traffic congestion to make everyone’s commute better.

CAP Eligibility Rules

  • Must live off campus
  • Must forgo an on-campus daytime parking permit
  • Must be a University student or employee (paid by the University or Hospitals) to receive a GoPass or vanpool subsidy
