UC Irvine is among the elite universities awarded the Platinum-level Bicycle Friendly University certification by the League of American Bicyclists, underscoring our dedication to promoting cycling as a sustainable mode of transportation.

UC Irvine Sustainable Transportation’s goal is to reduce the total number of vehicle trips made to campus by faculty, staff, and students. Our goal serves the California clean-air effort and reduces campus and community vehicle congestion. As part of our compliance program, the campus conducts an employee commuter survey each April.

UC Irvine boasts one of the highest Zipcar utilization rates nationally, demonstrating our students’ enthusiasm for sustainable transportation solutions and reducing the need for personal vehicle ownership.

 

At UC Irvine, sustainability begins with how you get to campus. With 80% of commuters opting for a sustainable commute option, we are making significant strides towards reducing our environmental footprint.

UC Irvine has proudly been recognized as one of the “Best Workplaces for Commuters” since 2008, highlighting our commitment to providing exceptional commuting options.

One in five cars traveling to UC Irvine now utilizes alternative fuels, contributing to a cleaner campus environment and healthier air quality.
