Rideshare Program |
Chancellor's Office employees at all locations who rideshare at least two
times per week are eligible to participate in this program. However, only the portion
of the program for employees who work in the LA Basin is regulated by the South
Coast Air Quality Management District. The Rideshare Program has been approved by
the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
 Best Workplace Designation By EPA
The Chancellor’s Office has been designated by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency as one of the “Best Workplaces
for Commuters.” The Chancellor’s Office received
this national designation for reducing traffic congestion and
air pollution by promoting alternative transportation to and
from work.
