Doing so will lessen the amount of time you spend in traffic, decrease your vehicle emissions, and reduce parking demand on campus.

Carpool
The UA carpool program is administered through UA Parking and Transportation Services in Tucson specifically for the benefit of Phoenix Biomedical Campus employees and students. Eligible carpools consist of three or more individuals sharing one permit per carpool (members may register more than one vehicle) on the majority of their commute trips to campus. Carpoolers park in our Phoenix campus parking lot and share the cost of the parking permit. All members must have an affiliation with the University of Arizona. You may start a carpool with fewer than three people using Share The Ride services (see below) or Opens in new window external linkRideAmigos. Call 520-621-3710 for more information.

Share The Ride
A free and secure on line ride-matching service brought to you by Valley Metro, the areas regional transit and rideshare agency. It provides an easy method of finding others who are interested in sharing the ride to the work site via carpool, vanpool – or even someone you can bike with to work. Log on to: Opens in new window external linkhttps://www.sharetheride.com/Public/Home.aspx Receive guidance through the matching process. Using this service does not automatically make you eligible for the UA Carpool program.

RideAmigos

RideAmigos is an online platform that will help you do two things:

  1. Plan your alternative transportation commute (carpooling, biking, walking, bus, streetcar, or Cat Tran). If you drive by yourself, it’s a great way to get connected to others for carpooling or learning about other modes of transportation.
  2. Get prizes! Want a FitBit or Beats headphones? A UA t-shirt or sunglasses? Track your commute to get free stuff from the “Achievement Store.”

Emergency Ride Home
This program allows a UA employee or student who uses an alternative mode of travel (bus, bike, walk, carpool, vanpool) to the Phoenix Biomedical Campus work site a taxi ride home in case of an emergency. The user may not possess a UA parking permit and may utilize this service once per year if needed. PTS will pay up to a maximum of $50 of your Lyft ride home. The customer would be responsible to pay any dollar amount above the $50 maximum directly to the Lyft driver using a credit card. Call 520-621-1108 for the service.

Vanpool
Valley Metro provides vans to qualifying groups of 6-15 commuters, driven by one of the vanpool members. Passengers share the cost of operating the van by paying a monthly fare. The fare covers gas, insurance, and van maintenance costs. Opens in new window external link www.ValleyMetro.org contains listings of available vanpool spaces and the route taken by the vanpools.
